DESCRIPTION
Lean, fast and powerful, Ubuntu Server delivers services reliably, predictably and economically. This image comes with GUI (graphical user interface) powered by Mate configured with VNC for remote access.
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.
Try this product free for 5 days according to the free trial terms set by the vendor. Usage-based pricing is in effect for usage beyond the free trial terms. Your free trial gets automatically converted to a paid subscription when the trial ends, but may be canceled any time before that.
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 for the software running on your chosen Amazon EC2 instance. Pricing is not tiered by feature. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, so your rate depends on the size and family you select. Options span burstable instances (t2, t3, t3a), compute-focused instances (c4, c5, c5a), general-purpose instances (m4, m5, m5a), and memory-focused instances (r4, r5, r5a). Larger instance sizes within a family carry higher hourly rates. Metal options are also available. You only pay for the hours you run.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What am I actually paying for in each hourly rate, since the operating system is free Ubuntu?
The hourly rate covers the packaged software image and vendor support, layered on top of your chosen Amazon EC2 instance. It includes the pre-configured Mate desktop and VNC remote access setup. AWS charges for the EC2 instance and storage separately. You pay both charges together while the instance runs.
Am I charged the hourly software rate when my instance is stopped or powered off?
The software charge meters running time only. When you stop or power off the instance, the hourly software rate stops accruing. Underlying AWS storage fees for the disk may still apply while the instance exists. Restarting the instance resumes the hourly software charge.
Why do the hourly rates differ across instance types like t3.small versus r5.24xlarge?
Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type. Your rate reflects the size and family you pick. Burstable types (t2, t3, t3a) sit at one end. Compute (c), general-purpose (m), and memory (r) families scale up with more CPU or RAM. Metal options run on dedicated hardware. Bigger sizes cost more per hour.

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
Updated AMI with latest security patches and improvements
Additional details
Usage instructions
Launch the instance either via AWS MarketPlace wizard or EC2 console
VNC Access
Configure the Security Group to open Inbound TCP port 5901 from your location or use default settings (open to the world)
The password is the first 8 characters of the Instance Id after the dash (Ex: for the instance id i-1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9 , the password would be 1a2b3c4d)
SSH Access
Configure the Security Group to open Inbound TCP port 22 from your location or 0.0.0.0/0 (open to the world)
Use an SSH client (for example: https://www.putty.org) to connect to the instance's IP on the port 22.
Authenticate to the instance using the key pair selected during the instance launch. The user name is ubuntu.
Additional Information
Monitoring the Health of the instance
Navigate to your Amazon EC2 console and verify that you're in the correct region.
Choose Instance and select your launched instance.
Select the server to display your metadata page and choose the Status checks tab at the bottom of the page to review if your status checks passed or failed.
Using EBS encryption, the decryption is done automatically when using the instance.
Customer data can be saved anywhere in the instance, however it is a good practice to save user data (including sensitive data) in the /home/<user-name> directory.
