AMI instrumented with all the libraries to perform web scraping
Overview
Data collection from websites often requires the ability to load and execute the JavaScript code included in the sites. This AMI comes instrumented with Chrome and all of its dependencies. The server can be run as a standalone or as part of a cluster of machines based on the same image. This AMI is based on hardened images and has been inspected for security vulnerabilities.
Highlights
- Tested for compatibility issues: We solved the annoying compatibility issues between browsers and drivers.
- Always up to date: We rebuild and test the AMI weekly to give you the most up-to-date software.
- Security: We built this on hardened images and tested it for vulnerabilities.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a preconfigured web scraping server image that runs on your chosen EC2 instance type. The eight options are all EC2 instance sizes, not feature tiers. They differ by compute and memory capacity. The t3a and t3 families cover micro, small, medium, and large sizes, while t2 offers a large size. Pick a size to match your scraping workload; larger instances handle heavier processing. Billing accrues per hour of runtime, so your total cost scales with how long each instance runs. The software itself carries no separate license charge beyond the hourly rate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get a preconfigured server image with Chrome installed for web scraping. You connect directly to the EC2 instance over SSH as the ubuntu user. The image sets environment variables pointing to the Chrome executable and the Chrome driver, so scraping tools can find them.
The software charge meters running time by the hour, so a fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software rate. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes. Your total software cost tracks how many hours each instance actually runs.
All eight options bill per hour and run the same server image. They differ only by compute and memory. The t3a and t3 families offer micro, small, medium, and large sizes; t2 offers a large size. Larger sizes give more compute and memory to handle heavier scraping jobs.

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
- Chrome / Chromedriver updated to version 134
- Added chrome headless shell as alternative browser solution
Additional details
Usage instructions
This image comes with Chrome and Chromedriver already installed. To access the instance use SSH (port 22) and the username ubuntu. Make sure you are using the same credentials you associated with the instance at launch.
