Pre-configured GitLab CE AMI on Debian 13 with Let's Encrypt SSL. Deploy a self-hosted DevOps platform with CI/CD, Git repos, and issue tracking in minutes.
Overview
GitLab Server CE Community Edition on Debian 13
Published by Cloud Infrastructure Services, this pre-configured AMI delivers a fully operational GitLab Community Edition instance on Debian 13. Skip hours of manual installation and configuration - launch a complete, self-hosted DevOps platform on AWS with integrated CI/CD pipelines, Git repository management, issue tracking, code review, a web IDE, wikis, and built-in team messaging.
Why This GitLab AMI Instead of Self-Installing?
This AMI eliminates the complexity of manually configuring GitLab's technology stack (Go, Ruby on Rails, Vue.js, PostgreSQL, NGINX, and Redis). You get a tested, integrated deployment with:
- Let's Encrypt SSL support for HTTPS on your custom domain
- Pre-tuned PostgreSQL, NGINX, and Redis for immediate production use
- Container Registry for streamlined Docker container management
- Mattermost messaging built in for ChatOps workflows
- Option to configure an external PostgreSQL database using the Omnibus package
GitLab Key Features and Buyer Outcomes
- Consolidated DevOps toolchain: Replace multiple paid services (separate CI/CD, issue tracking, and source control tools) with a single self-hosted platform - no per-user SaaS licensing fees.
- Fully functional CI/CD pipelines: Versioned build scripts, multi-stage pipelines, and deployment to multiple environments help teams ship code faster with automated testing and deployment.
- Repository management: Forking, merge conflict resolution, quick commit-reverts, and group namespaces keep teams organized and productive.
- Agile project management: Built-in issue boards for managing, organizing, and visualizing software projects across sprints.
- Security scanning: Supports SAST, DAST, and container scanning to identify vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle.
- Secure authentication: LDAP, Active Directory, two-factor authentication, and CAS integration - no separate identity provider needed.
- Deep integrations: Connect with existing tools like JIRA for teams transitioning from other platforms.
- GitLab Web Editor: Edit merge requests, files, and directories directly from the browser.
Example Use Case
A 15-person engineering team consolidates GitHub, Jenkins, and Jira into a single self-hosted GitLab CE instance on AWS. By running this AMI on a single EC2 instance, they gain unified source control, CI/CD, and project management while maintaining full data sovereignty - ideal for teams with compliance requirements around source code residency.
Getting Started
- Launch the AMI from AWS Marketplace and select your instance type.
- Configure your security group to allow ports 22, 80, and 443.
- SSH into the instance using your EC2 key pair.
- Follow our post deployment setup guide. Link in vendor resources below.
Data Encryption
- Data in transit: TLS/SSL via Let's Encrypt or your own certificates.
- Data at rest: Supports AWS EBS encryption for full disk encryption of all stored data.
- Compliance controls: Built-in audit logging and integrated compliance features help teams meet organizational security requirements.
Highlights
- Pre-configured and tested on Debian 13 with Let's Encrypt SSL support, PostgreSQL, NGINX, and Redis already integrated. Launch a production-ready GitLab CE instance in minutes rather than spending hours on manual installation and configuration. Includes built-in Container Registry for Docker image management and Mattermost for team ChatOps - all from a single AMI deployment.
- Consolidate your DevOps toolchain into one self-hosted platform with no per-user SaaS licensing. Get fully functional CI/CD pipelines with versioned build scripts, multi-stage pipelines, and automated deployment to multiple environments. Includes SAST, DAST, and container scanning for security testing integrated directly into your development workflow.
- Secure by design with LDAP, Active Directory, two-factor authentication, and CAS integration built in. Supports EBS encryption for data at rest and TLS/SSL via Let's Encrypt for data in transit. Recommended minimum of 4 GB RAM (t3.medium or larger) with 30 GB SSD storage - scales to support growing engineering teams on a single EC2 instance.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the pre-configured GitLab Community Edition image running on Debian 13. Pricing scales with the EC2 instance type you choose to run it on. Each dimension maps to one AWS instance size, billed per hour of use. Smaller instances like t3.micro cover light workloads. Larger instances such as memory-optimized (r5), compute-optimized (c5), and GPU or metal types support heavier demands. You select the instance that fits your capacity needs. Your hourly rate rises with instance size and capability. Billing runs on usage, so you pay only for the hours you run.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get a pre-configured GitLab Community Edition image on Debian 13. It comes with the latest GitLab CE and required prerequisites installed. Features include repository management, issue boards, CI/CD pipelines, built-in chat-ops messaging, a web editor, and secure authentication support. You run it on the AWS instance size you select.
The software charge meters running hours only. When you fully stop an instance, no hourly software charge accrues for that time. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those are separate from the per-hour software rate shown in the table.
Each dimension maps to one AWS instance type, and your rate ties to that choice. Instance families differ by focus: general purpose, memory-optimized, compute-optimized, storage-optimized, and GPU or bare-metal types. You pick one size at a time and pay its hourly rate. Larger, higher-capability instances carry higher hourly rates.
