Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for technical support with a 24-hour response time. PostgreSQL 17, built on a minimal CentOS Stream 9 installation, is included in this AMI, repackaged by Easycloud. It provides a fully configured, high-performance relational database environment, deliberately engineered with a strict focus on database security and backend integration to deliver production-ready PostgreSQL 17 from the moment the instance launches.
Core Features & Integrations
-
CentOS Stream 9 Foundation: Provides a robust, enterprise-grade underlying OS with deep structural alignment to RHEL, ensuring high security and seamless ecosystem compatibility with AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, and traditional CentOS deployments.
-
Contrib Modules Included: Comes pre-packaged with 'postgresql17-contrib', granting immediate access to essential official extensions like 'pg_stat_statements' for monitoring and 'uuid-ossp' for UUID generation.
-
Optimized for V17 Performance: Pre-configured to leverage PostgreSQL 17's advanced capabilities out-of-the-box, including the newly overhauled memory management for vacuum processes that drastically reduces system overhead.
-
Enterprise Structure: Adheres strictly to standard Linux file hierarchies for configurations, logs, and data, simplifying backend management and automated deployments via tools like Ansible or Terraform.
Key Benefits
-
The Ultimate Enterprise-Grade Relational Data Foundation: By starting with a bloat-free CentOS Stream 9, maximum CPU and memory are reserved entirely for the PostgreSQL 17 engine, its contrib extensions, and advanced query planner. This makes it the ideal, conflict-free relational backbone for teams that also run MySQL, MariaDB, and Amazon Aurora in their data tier, and the go-to server for application stacks built on Python, Django, Ruby on Rails, Node.js, and Spring Boot. It integrates naturally with high-throughput caching layers (Redis, MongoDB) and serves as the underlying database for backend platforms like Supabase and no-code tools like NocoDB. For data-intensive pipelines, it connects with ClickHouse for OLAP offloading and Apache Kafka for change data capture and event streaming, while Elasticsearch, Grafana, and Prometheus plug in directly for full-stack search and observability, and vector workloads benefit from PostgreSQL's pgvector extension alongside dedicated stores like Milvus, ensuring your relational infrastructure scales confidently across every tier of the modern application stack.
-
Production Ready & Expert Support: Secured with the latest OS patches. It delivers a highly stable environment, fully supported by comprehensive documentation and fast technical assistance (guaranteed 24-hour response time) to ensure your infrastructure runs smoothly without costly downtime.
Highlights
- PostgreSQL 17 deployment strictly follows best practices to ensure optimal performance and security.
- CentOS Stream 9 (Minimal Installation), updated to the latest version.
- Expert Support: Backed by comprehensive documentation and fast, professional technical assistance.

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
Connection Methods:
Access the instance via SSH using the 'ec2-user' user. Use 'sudo' to run commands requiring root privileges. To switch to the root user, use 'sudo su - root'.
Install Information
- Operating System: CentOS Stream 9
- PostgreSQL Version: 17
- Port: 5432
- Superuser: postgres
- Data Directory: '/var/lib/pgsql/17/data/'
- Config Files: '/var/lib/pgsql/17/data/postgresql.conf' and '/var/lib/pgsql/17/data/pg_hba.conf'
- Log Directory: '/var/lib/pgsql/17/data/log/'
Usage Instructions
-
Local Admin Access: Connect locally by running: 'sudo -u postgres /usr/pgsql-17/bin/psql'
-
Manage Service: Use 'sudo systemctl start/stop/restart postgresql-17' to control the database daemon.
-
Enable Remote Access:
By default, PostgreSQL only allows local connections. To enable remote access, complete these exact steps:
-
Step 1: Open '/var/lib/pgsql/17/data/postgresql.conf', find the 'listen_addresses' parameter, uncomment it, and set it to: listen_addresses = '*'
-
Step 2: Open '/var/lib/pgsql/17/data/pg_hba.conf', scroll to the very bottom, and append this exact line: host all all 0.0.0.0/0 scram-sha-256
-
Step 3: Apply the configuration changes by running: sudo systemctl restart postgresql-17
-
Step 4: AWS Firewall: Go to your AWS Console and ensure the EC2 Security Group has an Inbound Rule allowing TCP Port 5432.
Firewall Configuration
-
SSH (Port 22): Required for initial system access.
-
PostgreSQL (Port 5432): Required for remote database clients (e.g., pgAdmin, DBeaver) or application servers to connect.
-
Security Recommendation: For production environments, strictly limit access to ports 22 and 5432 to trusted IP addresses only via AWS Security Groups.
