This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for image hardening, maintenance, and support. Valkey (Redis-compatible) on Amazon Linux 2023, security-hardened for production: minimal package set, SSH key-only access, IMDSv2-only, bound to loopback with no default auth exposure, and continuously patched images.
Overview
Valkey (Hardened) on Amazon Linux 2023 is a production-ready, security-hardened image of the Valkey in-memory data store, maintained and supported by Derek Coleman & Associates Inc.
This is repackaged open-source software. Valkey is a Linux Foundation project - the community-driven, Redis-compatible in-memory key-value store - distributed under the BSD 3-Clause license. This product bundles unmodified upstream Valkey on a hardened Amazon Linux 2023 base; the charges associated with this listing are for image hardening, continuous patching, vulnerability scanning, and business-day support - not for the underlying open-source software, which remains free.
Hardening baseline: minimal package footprint, SSH key-only access (password authentication disabled), IMDSv2 enforced, and no exposed default authentication (Valkey binds to 127.0.0.1 until you deliberately configure bind plus requirepass or TLS in /etc/valkey/valkey.conf and open port 6379 to trusted CIDRs). Images are rebuilt, scanned for HIGH and CRITICAL vulnerabilities, and republished on a regular cadence so that new launches start current. Manage the service with systemd: sudo systemctl restart valkey.
Highlights
- Open-source and license-clean: Valkey is the community Redis-compatible fork; systemd-managed.
- Security-hardened at build time: minimal packages, key-only SSH, IMDSv2-only, bound to loopback until you configure bind + requirepass.
- Continuously patched: rebuilt, vulnerability-scanned, and republished on a regular cadence.

Pricing
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimension | Cost/hour |
|---|---|
c7i.xlarge Recommended | $0.46 |
c7i.4xlarge | $1.84 |
c7i.2xlarge | $0.92 |
Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the running instance, with no subscription or minimum commitment. The three dimensions map to EC2 instance sizes for this hardened Valkey image. The c7i.xlarge offers 4 vCPU and 8 GiB memory. The c7i.2xlarge offers 8 vCPU and 16 GiB. The c7i.4xlarge offers 16 vCPU and 32 GiB. Your software cost scales with the size you pick, so more vCPU and memory raises the hourly rate. AWS infrastructure charges are billed separately by AWS. Charges stop when you terminate the instance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Software charges accrue only while the instance runs. Charges stop when you terminate the instance. There is no subscription and no minimum commitment. Stopped instances may still incur separate AWS storage fees for the attached EBS volume, but the software meter counts running time only.
The hourly software charge covers image hardening, continuous patching, vulnerability scanning, and business-day support. The underlying Valkey software remains free open-source under its own license. You pay for the maintained, security-hardened image, not the data store itself.
A single instance uses one EC2 instance and one gp3 EBS volume. No other AWS resources are created. The instance runs in your own AWS account under your IAM, VPC, and billing controls. AWS infrastructure charges are billed separately by AWS.

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.
Version release notes
[Security] Refreshed image: rebuilt on the latest hardened Amazon Linux 2023 baseline; all OS packages current at build.

Usage instructions
- Launch from AWS Marketplace (1-Click or EC2 console).
- Connect via SSH with your EC2 key pair: ssh -i <key> ec2-user@<public-ip>. Root login is disabled; use sudo.
- Valkey binds to 127.0.0.1 by default. To expose it, set bind + requirepass (or TLS) in /etc/valkey/valkey.conf, then: sudo systemctl restart valkey, and open port 6379 to trusted CIDRs only.
- Verify: sudo systemctl status valkey.
- Sensitive data: there are no passwords or secrets anywhere in this product.
- Backup: snapshot the EBS volume (it contains all configuration and data).
- Resources: a single instance uses 1 EC2 instance and 1 gp3 EBS volume; no other AWS resources are created.
