You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you run. The eight dimensions map to compute types in two families: t2 and t3 burstable instances, plus m5 general-purpose instances. Within each family, you scale from medium to large to xlarge, adding CPU and memory as you move up. The m5.large and m5.xlarge options provide steady general-purpose capacity. Your hourly rate rises with instance size, so pricing tracks the compute resources you select. Each running instance includes the managed hosting service, so cost reflects both the underlying compute and the platform management.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What resources do I get when I run a t3.large or m5.xlarge instance?
Each dimension maps to a single EC2 instance of that size. The t2 and t3 families are burstable, so they hold a baseline CPU level and burst higher when needed. The m5 family gives steady general-purpose CPU and memory. Moving from medium to large to xlarge adds CPU and memory.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or powered off?
Software charges meter running time per hour. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly platform rate. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes, billed separately by AWS. To halt platform charges, stop the instance rather than leaving it idle.
What does the hourly rate include beyond the raw compute?
Each running instance bundles the managed hosting service. That covers automated provisioning, monitoring, backups, security patches, and one-click updates. You do not pay a separate line item for management. Your hourly rate rises with instance size, so cost reflects both the compute you select and the ongoing platform operation.

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
Added automated first-boot provisioning using failsafe.sh to ensure successful installation and deployment.
Implemented secure Huly workspace setup with auto-generated unique security secrets for all services stored in .env
Added mandatory domain validation with DNS verification and HTTPS configuration for secure remote access.
Fully automated SSL certificate issuing using Certbot with Let's Encrypt + Apache integration and auto-renewal.
Enabled real-time collaboration with WebSocket tunneling through Apache reverse proxy for live document editing.
Integrated LiveKit video conferencing server with WebRTC support for audio/video meetings within the platform.
Provided Docker Compose-based deployment with 15+ microservices including MongoDB, Elasticsearch, MinIO, and Huly services for consistent, reproducible runtime environments.
Configured persistent data volumes for MongoDB databases, Elasticsearch indices, MinIO object storage, and LiveKit recordings to ensure data durability.

Integrated self-healing setup with automatic retry logic and health checks that guarantees successful provisioning even on transient failures.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Launch an Instance
From AWS Marketplace, click Continue to Subscribe, then Continue to Configuration, and launch the AMI.
Choose the Recommended Instance Type
Select t3.large or higher for optimal Huly deployment.
Huly runs 15+ microservices (MongoDB, Elasticsearch, MinIO, LiveKit) - larger instance types improve real-time collaboration, document editing, and video conferencing performance. Minimum: 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 50 GB storage.
Configure Security Group
Allow inbound traffic on the following ports:
22 (SSH) - For secure terminal access
80 (HTTP) - Required temporarily for SSL validation
443 (HTTPS) - Secure access to Huly workspace in browser
50100-50200 (UDP) - Required for LiveKit video/audio conferencing
Connect to the Instance
Use SSH to connect:
ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>
First-Boot Setup (Guided)
On first login, an interactive guided setup will automatically start:
Detects public IP
Prompts for domain name mapping to Huly
Validates DNS A-record propagation
Asks for admin email for SSL certificate, SMTP source, and admin login
Prompts for SMTP credentials (Gmail, Outlook, or any SMTP provider)
Generates unique security secrets for all services
Stores credentials securely in /opt/app/.env
Creates Apache reverse proxy with WebSocket support
Requests & installs a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate
Deploys Huly using Docker Compose with 15+ microservices
Creates admin account via API
Displays access URL & login instructions after completion
DNS Configuration Required
Before (or during) setup, add this DNS A-record:
yourdomain.com A <your-instance-public-IP>
Setup continues only when major resolvers confirm valid mapping.
SMTP Configuration Required
CRITICAL: Huly requires SMTP for OTP-based login.
During setup, provide:
SMTP_HOST (e.g., smtp.gmail.com)
SMTP_PORT (usually 587)
SMTP_USERNAME (your email)
SMTP_PASSWORD (App Password)
For Gmail: Get App Password from myaccount.google.com/apppasswords
For Outlook: Use smtp.office365.com with app password
Without SMTP, users cannot login (OTP codes won't be delivered).
Automatic SSL Setup
After DNS validation:
Enables HTTPS access to Huly workspace
Auto-installs a valid TLS certificate with auto-renewal
Redirects HTTP to HTTPS for security
Enables WebSocket tunneling for real-time collaboration
Start / Restart Huly Manually (if needed)
cd /opt/app
docker-compose ps
docker-compose logs -f
docker-compose restart
Persistent volumes preserve databases, files, and search indices across restarts.
Access the Huly Workspace
Open your browser and visit:
https://<your-domain>
Login using OTP Authentication:
Enter your admin email
Check email for OTP code
Enter OTP to access
Credentials are printed after setup and saved in:
/opt/app/.env
Admin login:
Email: <your-admin-email>
Password: <generated-password> (for API access)
Retrieve Credentials Anytime
cat /opt/app/.env
View domain, admin email, admin password, SMTP settings, and all auto-generated security secrets.
Thank you for subscribing. Your instance is ready to go!
