PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system (DBMS).
The postgresql-server package contains the programs needed to create
and run a PostgreSQL server, which will in turn allow you to create
and maintain PostgreSQL databases.
Our PostgreSQL image is not markedly different from others. But it IS our
standard-deployed, scalable, zero-conf version, specifically designed to
play nicely with our other RDBMS-dependent images.
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. 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.
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 BastionLinux running PostgreSQL, billed per EC2 instance type you choose. Each dimension maps to one specific AWS instance size, so pricing scales with the compute, memory, and storage capacity of that instance. Smaller general-purpose types (like t3 and m5 sizes) cost less per hour, while memory-optimized (r-series), compute-optimized (c-series), storage-dense (i-series, d-series), and accelerated instances (g, p, trn, inf, f) cost more. You select the instance that fits your workload, and hourly charges accrue only while the instance runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I actually get when I pay the hourly rate for an instance type?
You get a running BastionLinux server with PostgreSQL pre-installed and configured on the AWS EC2 instance size you selected. The instance type sets the compute, memory, and storage capacity. You connect over SSH and access the database using the client tools included in the base package.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped?
The hourly software charge accrues only while the instance runs. A stopped instance stops the hourly software meter. Note that underlying AWS storage fees for the instance's disk may still apply separately while it is stopped.
If I need more capacity, do I pay more per hour or add instances?
Each dimension is one instance type billed per running hour. To get more capacity, you select an instance with more compute, memory, or storage, which carries its own hourly rate. Running several instances bills each one independently by its own hourly rate.

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
None
Upgrade Steps
You may upgrade your instance using the following command from the shell:
$ dnf update postgresql-server
Additional details
Usage instructions
As you know, PostgreSQL does not have an admin console
SSH into the box
Run the following command:
sudo -u postgres psql
Your PostgreSQL is now fully configured and ready to be used with your application stack. If for example, you have our Airflow - edit the sql_alchemy_conn variable to postgresql://<PG_USER>:<PG_PASSWORD>@<Instance_Public_IP_DNS>:5432/<PG_DB> in /etc/airflow/airflow.cfg.

Sensitive Information
postgresql contains no cryptographically stored data and does not perform
any encryption at rest.
Local X509 PKI may be utilised to manage network-based TLS. All certificates and keys are stored locally in /etc/pki and it is completely at your discretion to regenerate any of these at any time; the product will transparently operate on any consistent set of configured keys.
postgresql ships with openssl, step-cli and other popular tools to facilitate certificate regeneration.
