The Anbox Cloud Appliance brings Canonical Anbox Cloud to the public cloud. The appliance is intended for rapid prototyping of Android in the Cloud solutions on AWS. It offers a development playground for corporate innovation labs or startups, empowering innovators to realise disruptive mobile cloud computing ideas, or amazing new designs for infotainment systems of tomorrow. Game streaming, cloud based application management, device virtualization, cost effective application and Automotive OS system testing, and more exciting use cases are now accessible to you.
Main features:
Manage Android containers and VMs through a web-based graphical user interface
Ultra low latency video streaming on NVIDIA GPUs to power cloud gaming solutions
Super efficient server's resources utilization enabling high number of clients per server
Support for generic Android and even customized Android Automotive OS (AAOS)
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
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. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
You pay by the hour based on the AWS EC2 instance type you run Anbox Cloud Appliance on. There is no upfront commitment; billing follows your actual usage. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, so pricing scales with the compute, memory, storage, or GPU capacity you select. Smaller instances suit evaluation and testing; larger instances and GPU-equipped types support graphics-heavy or high-volume Android workloads. Bare-metal options run without a nested virtualization layer. Your hourly rate rises as you choose instances with more resources. Select the instance that matches your workload size and performance needs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one billed unit represent for this product?
One unit is one hour of running the chosen AWS EC2 instance type. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size. You are billed for the hours that instance runs, so cost tracks the compute, memory, storage, or GPU capacity of the instance you select.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused?
The hourly software charge meters running time only. When you stop or terminate an instance, that hourly rate stops accruing. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those are separate from the Anbox Cloud Appliance hourly charge.
How do bare-metal instance types differ from standard virtualized ones in this pricing list?
Bare-metal instance types (those ending in .metal) run workloads directly on physical servers without a nested virtualization layer. This suits system-level Android validation and workloads needing native performance. Standard instances run virtualized. Both bill by the hour; your rate reflects the instance's compute, memory, storage, or GPU resources.

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
For Ubuntu Cloud Guest it is suggested to manually configure your Security Group/Firewall settings. The 1-Click Security Group opens only port 22 so that you can access your instance via ssh using login 'ubuntu'. If you chose the 1-Click Security Group, you may change it later to enable applications using the AWS Console or API.
AWS Support is a one-on-one, fast-response support channel that is staffed 24x7x365 with experienced and technical support engineers. The service helps customers of all sizes and technical abilities to successfully utilize the products and features provided by Amazon Web Services.
