An interim Ubuntu Linux release optimized for AWS. This production-quality version lets you try the latest open source software before the next LTS, with 9 months of support.
Overview
Ubuntu is the world's most popular Linux for cloud environments and is suitable for small to large-scale Linux operations. Ubuntu Server optimized for use on AWS is designed by Canonical (the publishers of Ubuntu). For more information, visit https://ubuntu.com/aws .
Interim releases, issued every 6 months, introduce new features from Canonical and upstream open source projects. They serve as a proving ground for early adopters, testers, and users who need the latest runtimes, kernels, and libraries before the next LTS.
Ubuntu is free and will always be, with the option to access additional security, management tools and technical support when you need it through additional commercial offerings from Canonical.
Why developers and devops choose Ubuntu Server optimized for use on AWS
- Production ready: Ubuntu is the leading Linux in the public cloud with > 50% of Linux workloads
- Developer friendly: Ubuntu is the #1 Linux for developers offering the latest library and tools to innovate with the latest technologies
- No mandatory licenses: Ubuntu Server is freely available, with no mandatory licenses and unlimited VMs
- Non-stop security: Canonical publishes images on a daily basis, ensuring security is built-in from the moment an instance launches
- Optimized performance: optimized kernel, with improved boot speed, outstanding runtime performance and advanced device support
- Portability: Ubuntu is available in all regions with content mirrors to avoid the need to go across regions or out to the Internet for updates
For professional environments or applications where additional security and compliance would be beneficial, or where you might want to continue using the environment beyond, Canonical recommends an Ubuntu pro subscription (learn more at https://ubuntu.com/aws/pro ).
Highlights
- Interim release with support through July 2026
- Includes Linux Kernel 6.17

Dimensions summary
This listing is free for the software itself, so you pay only for the AWS compute you run. Pricing is organized by Arm-based EC2 instance type, billed hourly. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size within families tuned for different workloads: general purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, GPU, and high-performance computing. Within each family, cost scales with instance size, from small shared instances up to bare-metal options. You pick the instance that fits your workload and capacity needs, and hourly charges reflect that choice.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The software itself is free, so each hourly dimension carries no license fee for Ubuntu. You pay only the underlying AWS compute for the Arm-based EC2 instance you launch. That charge appears through AWS based on the instance type and how many hours it runs.
The software carries no charge in any state, since the listing is free. Running-time compute charges apply through AWS while an instance is active. A stopped instance stops accruing compute charges, though attached AWS storage may still incur separate fees billed by AWS.
Each dimension maps to one Arm-based EC2 instance size within a workload family, such as general purpose, compute, memory, storage, or GPU. Cost scales with instance size, from small shared types up to bare-metal. You pick the size matching your capacity needs; larger instances cost more per hour.

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.
