This product has charges associated with it for hardening, security configuration, and support.
WSO2 API Manager is an open-source, full-lifecycle API management platform: design, publish, secure, rate-limit, monetize and analyze APIs with a Publisher, a Developer Portal, an API Gateway, and a built-in Key Manager (OAuth2/OIDC/JWT) - all in one node. Unlike bare WSO2 AMIs that run on the embedded H2 dev database, ship the publicly known default wso2carbon.jks key, and expose the consoles with the static admin/admin password, this Lynxroute build is production-ready: a bundled local PostgreSQL for the shared and API-Manager databases, a freshly generated keystore and a random admin password at first boot, PostgreSQL bound to localhost, UFW pre-configured, and a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.
Apache-2.0 license - fully auditable, no open-core feature gating, no vendor lock-in.
Overview
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.
WHAT IS WSO2 API MANAGER
WSO2 API Manager is an open-source platform for the full API lifecycle. It combines a Publisher (design, version and document REST, SOAP, GraphQL, WebSocket and streaming APIs), a Developer Portal (discover, subscribe, get keys and try APIs), an API Gateway (a high-performance proxy that enforces security, rate limiting and mediation), and a built-in Key Manager that issues and validates OAuth2 access tokens, API keys and JWTs. It supports OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0 scopes, mutual TLS, subscription-tier throttling, API monetization, and pluggable external key managers (Keycloak, Okta, Auth0). Applications and clients use standard endpoints, so no vendor SDK is required. WSO2 API Manager needs a production relational database; this image bundles and rotates a local PostgreSQL. Apache-2.0 license - the community binary is the production binary, with no open-core feature gating.
WHAT THIS AMI ADDS
Security hardening:
- Production datastore on a bundled local PostgreSQL (shared_db + apim_db) - not the embedded H2 dev database
- The shipped wso2carbon.jks ships a publicly known private key; this image regenerates the keystore with a fresh self-signed certificate at first boot
- Random super-admin password generated at first boot, written to /root/wso2am-credentials.txt (root-only); the default admin/admin is never shipped live
- PostgreSQL (5432) bound to 127.0.0.1 only; the AI/telemetry features are disabled (no phone-home on boot)
- JVM heap auto-sized to the instance at first boot
- UFW firewall pre-configured (22 plus the WSO2 ports 9443, 9763, 8243, 8280)
- fail2ban, auditd, AppArmor pre-configured
- CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release
OS hardening (CIS Level 1):
- CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
- auditd, SSH hardening, Kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced
Compliance artifacts:
- SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
- CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
- CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md
Note on updates: security patches follow the upstream WSO2 community release cadence plus our OS/CIS layer; this image does not use the WSO2 subscriber (WUM/U2) update channel.
Highlights
- WSO2 security baked in: a production PostgreSQL datastore (not the embedded H2 dev DB), a freshly generated keystore replacing the publicly known default wso2carbon.jks, and a random super-admin password at first boot - unlike bare WSO2 AMIs that run on H2, ship the default private key, and expose the consoles with the static admin/admin password.
- CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced, PostgreSQL bound to localhost. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
- Full-lifecycle API management in one node: Publisher, Developer Portal, API Gateway and a built-in OAuth2/OIDC/JWT Key Manager with rate limiting and subscription tiers. Apache-2.0 - the community binary is the production binary, no open-core gating, no vendor lock-in.

Dimension | Cost/hour |
|---|---|
m6i.xlarge Recommended | $0.05 |
m6i.large | $0.05 |
t3.large | $0.05 |
Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you run. All three options deliver the same API management software; they differ only in the compute capacity behind them. The t3.large runs on a burstable instance for variable workloads. The m6i.large and m6i.xlarge run on general-purpose instances, with the m6i.xlarge providing more CPU and memory than the m6i.large. Pick the instance that matches your expected API traffic. Your cost scales with the size chosen and the hours the instance runs, plus standard AWS infrastructure charges.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay for each hour the EC2 instance runs, regardless of API traffic volume. The t3.large is a burstable instance for variable loads. The m6i.large and m6i.xlarge are general-purpose instances, with the m6i.xlarge carrying more CPU and memory. The instance runs the same API management software.
The hourly software charge meters running time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue software fees. Stopped instances may still incur standard AWS storage charges for attached volumes. You are billed for the hours the instance actually runs, not for idle API traffic.
Every instance runs the same platform. You can design, deploy, and secure REST, GraphQL, and AsyncAPI services. It includes an API gateway, developer portal, key manager for authentication, and analytics for usage tracking. The instance choice affects compute capacity only, not features.

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
- Launch the instance (m6i.xlarge recommended; t3.large minimum - 8 GB RAM floor)
- Open the Security Group - allow TCP 9443 and 8243 from your IP (and 9763/8280 only if you need the HTTP transports)
- SSH: ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>
- Read credentials: sudo cat /root/wso2am-credentials.txt
- Open https://<PUBLIC_IP>:9443/publisher in your browser - accept the self-signed certificate warning
- Log in as admin with the password from the credentials file. Create your own admin user (Admin Portal) and disable this account before production.
First boot takes about 2-4 minutes (PostgreSQL rotation, keystore regeneration, and JVM cold start); the consoles return a connection error until WSO2 has started, then load normally.
Consoles (HTTPS 9443): Publisher https://<PUBLIC_IP>:9443/publisher, Developer Portal https://<PUBLIC_IP>:9443/devportal, Admin Portal https://<PUBLIC_IP>:9443/admin, Carbon management https://<PUBLIC_IP>:9443/carbon. API Gateway: published APIs are invoked at https://<PUBLIC_IP>:8243/myapi/1.0.0 (HTTPS) or http://<PUBLIC_IP>:8280/myapi/1.0.0 (HTTP), substituting your own API context and version.
For production, replace the self-signed keystore and the IP hostname with your own domain and certificate: edit [server] hostname and the [keystore.*] entries in /opt/wso2am/repository/conf/deployment.toml, then sudo systemctl restart wso2am.
