This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.
Overview Apache CouchDB is an open source document oriented NoSQL database that stores data as JSON documents, exposes every operation over a RESTful HTTP API, and ships with the Fauxton browser based admin interface. This image delivers CouchDB fully installed and configured, so a complete document database is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is CouchDB 3.
Database Stack Apache CouchDB running as a systemd service in single node mode. The Erlang virtual machine is bundled inside the CouchDB package, so the image carries no separate runtime dependency and no Java. The HTTP REST API, the Fauxton admin interface and the replication protocol all listen on a single port.
Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance a one shot service generates a fresh CouchDB administrator password, unique to that instance, writes it into the CouchDB configuration, and stores the plain text value in a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image, and without an administrator CouchDB would otherwise run in insecure admin party mode.
Ready To Use The CouchDB service, configuration, data directory and administrator account are all prepared. Browse to the instance address on the CouchDB port to reach the Fauxton admin interface, or drive the database from any HTTP client. Database files are kept on a dedicated, independently resizable data disk.
cloudimg Support 24/7 technical support by email and chat. Help with CouchDB deployment, upgrades, replication, performance tuning and database administration.
Use Cases Document and content stores. Offline first and mobile sync back ends. Catalogue and configuration data. Event and audit logging. Multi master replication across regions.

Highlights
- Apache CouchDB preinstalled and ready, with the Fauxton web admin interface and the RESTful HTTP API on a single port and no manual setup required

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.

Additional details
Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant). CouchDB serves the HTTP API and the Fauxton admin interface on port 5984. Browse to http://<instance-public-ip>:5984/_utils/ and sign in as the 'admin' user. Retrieve the generated administrator password with: sudo cat /root/couchdb-credentials.txt. Restrict port 5984 to trusted networks because the Fauxton admin interface shares that port. To enable HTTPS, follow the reverse proxy section of the user guide.
