Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you choose to run the ClamAV API Server. All 16 options bill the same software per running hour, so your cost scales with instance size and how long you run it. The t3 and t3a families are burstable general-purpose instances, offered in medium, large, xlarge, and 2xlarge sizes. The m5 and m6a families are general-purpose instances with steadier performance, offered in large, xlarge, 2xlarge, and 4xlarge sizes. Larger instances carry more compute and memory. You select one based on your scanning workload.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The software meters running hours only. When you stop the instance, software charges stop too. Powered-off instances do not accrue hourly software fees. Note that stopped instances may still incur AWS storage charges for attached volumes, but those are separate from this listing's per-hour software cost.
The hourly rate covers the ClamAV API Server software packaged by the vendor, billed per running hour of your chosen instance. You pay standard AWS infrastructure costs, such as compute, storage, and data transfer, separately. The listing bundles open source antivirus scanning with vendor support.
You pick one instance type based on your scanning workload and file volume. Larger sizes offer more compute and memory. You can stop the instance and relaunch on a different size; billing follows whichever type is running. Your cost changes to match the new instance's hourly rate.

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.
Version release notes
Updated to ClamAV 1.4.4 on Ubuntu 26.04. Updated the API server to the current /api/v1 routes: /api/v1/aws/scan, /api/v1/scan/upload, /api/v1/scan, /api/v1/health, and /api/v1/livez. The server-local scan route is confined to LOCAL_SCAN_DIR.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Accessing the API Server
After the EC2 instance starts, access the API server through the instance private IP address on port 8080. For security, deploy the instance in a private subnet or restrict inbound access to trusted networks instead of exposing it directly to the internet.
Example private IP used below: 172.31.39.37.
API endpoints
- Readiness: GET http://172.31.39.37:8080/api/v1/health
- Liveness: GET http://172.31.39.37:8080/api/v1/livez
- Scan an S3 object: POST http://172.31.39.37:8080/api/v1/aws/scan
- Scan uploaded file bytes: POST http://172.31.39.37:8080/api/v1/scan/upload
- Scan a server-local file: POST http://172.31.39.37:8080/api/v1/scan
The server-local scan route is enabled on this AMI and is confined to /var/lib/elm-virus-scan/scan-drop through LOCAL_SCAN_DIR. Put files in that directory before calling POST /api/v1/scan. For arbitrary client-provided bytes, use POST /api/v1/scan/upload instead.
IAM role requirement for S3 scans
Attach an IAM role to the EC2 instance with read access to the S3 buckets and objects you want to scan. The AWS route uses the instance role and the instance region.
Curl examples from inside the instance
Readiness:
curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/health
Scan an S3 object:
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/aws/scan -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"bucket":"my-bucket","key":"path/to/file.pdf","stream":true}'
Scan uploaded bytes:
curl --data-binary @/tmp/test_file.txt -H 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/scan/upload
Scan a local drop-zone file:
sudo install -o elm-virus-scan -g elm-virus-scan -m 0640 /tmp/test_file.txt /var/lib/elm-virus-scan/scan-drop/test_file.txt curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/scan -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"file":"/var/lib/elm-virus-scan/scan-drop/test_file.txt"}'
A completed scan returns HTTP 200 for both clean and infected files. Inspect the JSON response: code 0 means clean, and code 1 means malware was found. Invalid requests return 400 or 403, oversized uploads return 413, and scanner/provider failures return 5xx.
