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 Rocky Linux 9 installation, is included in this AMI, repackaged by Easycloud.
Core Features & Integrations
-
Rocky Linux 9 Foundation: Provides a robust, enterprise-grade underlying OS with deep structural alignment to RHEL, ensuring high security and seamless ecosystem compatibility with AlmaLinux, CentOS Stream, and traditional CentOS deployments.
-
PostgreSQL 17: One of the world's most advanced open-source relational database systems, known for strict ACID compliance, a rich SQL feature set, and deep extensibility through JSONB, full text search, and foreign data wrappers. PostgreSQL 17 builds on this foundation with further improvements to query planning, vacuum efficiency, and logical replication, making it a dependable choice for transactional and analytical workloads alike.
-
Rocky Linux 9: A stable, enterprise-grade, RHEL-compatible Linux distribution known for long-term binary compatibility and predictable patch cycles, providing a solid, low-drama foundation for a stateful database workload.
Key Benefits
-
Best Practice Compliance: Architected and deployed in strict adherence to official AWS and PostgreSQL guidelines, ensuring optimal cloud resource utilization, architectural integrity, and reliable operational performance.
-
Production Ready: Based on a hardened, minimal installation of Rocky Linux 9, updated to the latest version. The database keeps PostgreSQL's official default peer authentication with zero configuration drift, and network access is restricted to localhost by default, providing a secure starting point for production deployments.
-
Expert Engineering and Support: Professionally repackaged by experienced engineers to guarantee a highly optimized and stable environment. It is backed by comprehensive documentation and fast, professional technical assistance to ensure your database layer runs smoothly without costly downtime.
-
The Perfect High-Performance Data Layer: By starting with a bloat-free Rocky Linux 9 installation, maximum CPU and memory are dedicated entirely to query planning and transaction processing. This makes it the perfect, conflict-free foundation for relational and analytical workloads alongside MySQL, MariaDB, Percona Server, Amazon Aurora, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server, and for ORM-driven application layers built with Hibernate and SQLAlchemy. It seamlessly integrates with modern frameworks such as Django, Ruby on Rails, and FastAPI, and serves as a rock-solid backend for low-code and self-hosted platforms including Supabase, NocoDB, Appsmith, Odoo, Keycloak, Directus, Strapi, and GitLab, as well as analytical engines like ClickHouse, ensuring your database infrastructure scales without limits.
-
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.

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
Once launched, SSH into the instance. The default username is 'rocky'. You can switch to the root user environment by running: sudo su -
Install Information
- OS: Rocky Linux 9.8
- PostgreSQL: 17
- Config File: '/var/lib/pgsql/17/data/postgresql.conf'
Usage Instructions
-
Access the database (peer authentication): This AMI uses PostgreSQL's official default peer authentication, so the 'postgres' database user has no password. Log in locally by running: sudo -u postgres psql
-
Run a query: Once inside the psql prompt, verify connectivity with: SELECT version();
-
Remote or password access (optional): By default only localhost is allowed. To enable password authentication and remote access, edit '/var/lib/pgsql/17/data/postgresql.conf' (listen_addresses) and '/var/lib/pgsql/17/data/pg_hba.conf' (authentication rules), then open port 5432 in the Security Group.
-
Manage the service: Use 'sudo systemctl start/stop/restart/status postgresql-17' to control the database service.
Firewall Configuration
-
SSH (Port 22): Required for initial system access.
-
PostgreSQL Database (Port 5432): Required for client connections to the database (localhost only by default; see step 3 to enable remote access).
-
Security Recommendation: For production environments, strictly limit access to these ports to trusted IP addresses only via cloud Security Groups or the local firewall.
