Valkey on Ubuntu 24.04. Valkey is a high-performance data structure server that primarily serves key/value workloads. It supports a wide range of native structures and an extensible plugin system for adding new data structures and access patterns.
Highlights
Use Valkey on AWS to provide a cache for your applications running on AWS. Supports high availability. Easily create a Valkey Cluster on AWS.
Valkey provides data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets with range queries, bitmaps, hyperloglogs, geospatial indexes, and streams. Valkey has built-in replication, Lua scripting, LRU eviction, transactions, and different levels of on-disk persistence.
Valkey stores the whole dataset in primary memory, that's why it is extremely fast. Valkey supports sharding. It is very easy to distribute the dataset across multiple Valkey instances, like other key-value store.
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.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you run Valkey on, an open-source key/value data structure server built on Ubuntu 24.04. Pricing is usage-based, so charges accrue only while an instance runs. Each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, and the hourly rate scales with the instance's size and hardware profile. General-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and accelerated families are all available. You choose the instance that fits your workload's memory, compute, and storage needs, then scale up or down by switching instance types.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly rate for each instance type actually pay for?
The hourly rate covers the software running on that EC2 instance type. Each dimension maps to one instance size and hardware profile. The rate reflects the instance's compute, memory, and storage capacity. AWS charges the underlying EC2 infrastructure separately from this software charge.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused?
Software charges accrue only while an instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops the hourly software charge. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees, but the software meter counts running hours only. You control cost by starting and stopping instances as needed.
How do I change cost if my workload grows or shrinks?
You switch to a different EC2 instance type. Larger instances with more memory, compute, or storage carry a higher hourly rate. Smaller instances carry a lower rate. You are billed per hour for whichever instance runs, so scaling up or down changes your rate immediately.

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.
You can find the configuration file at /etc/valkey/valkey.conf
The default port is still 6379, so, go ahead, spin a new instance, and replace your current Redis instance with this Valkey one.
You can use the service command in order to manage the valkey server using: sudo service valkey start|stop|restart|status
By default the valkey server is started when the instance starts.
By default Valkey binds to all the interfaces and has no authentication at all. If you use Valkey in a very controlled environment, separated from the external internet and in general from attackers, that is fine. However, if an unhardened Valkey is exposed to the internet, it is a big security concern. If you are not 100% sure your environment is secured properly, please check Valkey installation docs: https://valkey.io/topics/installation/

Valkey is the open-source Redis-compatible cache by the Linux Foundation - the safe, BSD-licensed alternative after Redis changed its license. Unlike bare Valkey deployments that bind to all interfaces with no authentication, this Lynxroute build is security baked in: strong password at first boot, localhost-only binding, FLUSHALL disabled, and CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.
Drop-in Redis replacement compatible with all existing Redis clients.

GlitchTip is an open-source error tracking and application monitoring platform - a Django application with a bundled PostgreSQL 18 database and Valkey 9 cache. This Lynxroute build is hardened and ready out of the box: signing key and database password generated at first launch, sign-up closed after the first account is claimed, nginx TLS on 443 with a per-instance certificate, database and cache unreachable from the network, UFW firewall pre-configured, and a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.
