Deploy a Preinstalled Playwright environment to Automate Chromium, Firefox, and Webkit
Running it on an EC2 instance is the easiest way to get started with Playwright in the cloud. This AMI offers a reliable, ready-to-use environment for test automation, web scraping, routine web task automation, and application monitoring.
Easily connect to the virtual desktop using RDP or VNC. Use the EC2 instance's public IP as the hostname and the instance ID as the initial password for both RDP and VNC. Log in with the username "ubuntu".
For seamless development and execution of Playwright scripts, the virtual machine comes with Visual Studio Code preinstalled. You can edit scripts directly in VS Code or transfer your files remotely using tools like WinSCP.
This AMI is designed to be minimal, containing only the necessary installations required to run Playwright on a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
Key Features:
- Ubuntu-based with a lightweight Xfce GUI for smooth performance.
- Connect via RDP or VNC to interact with the GUI remotely.
- Self-configures at launch: Use the EC2 instance ID as the initial password for RDP/VNC.
- Automate Preinstalled Browser Engines: Chromium (Chrome), Firefox and Webkit (Safari).
- Preinstalled Visual Studio Code with sample Playwright scripts and language bindings for Python, Node.js, and Java.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this software, billed through AWS Marketplace based on the EC2 instance type you run. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, from small general-purpose types like t2.micro to large compute, memory, and GPU instances. Your hourly rate scales with the instance you pick, so more powerful hardware costs more per hour. You choose one instance type at launch and pay only while it runs. The vendor recommends an instance with at least 4 GB of memory for the GUI desktop. No upfront commitment or fixed term applies.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One hourly unit covers the running time of a single EC2 instance of the type you select at launch. You pay for each hour that instance runs. The rate reflects the specific instance size, so a larger instance carries a higher hourly rate than a smaller one.
Software charges meter running hours only. When you stop the instance, the hourly software charge stops accruing. A stopped instance may still incur separate AWS storage fees for its attached disk, but those are AWS charges, not the software charge you see here.
Two actions matter. Stop or terminate the EC2 instance to halt the hourly software charge. To end the listing entirely, cancel the subscription in the AWS Marketplace Console under Manage, then Actions, then Cancel subscription. Canceling the subscription does not by itself stop a running instance.

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
Fixed a critical out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CVE-2026-32746) in the telnetd LINEMODE SLC suboption handler by adding buffer size validation.

Default Credentials for GUI connection:
- Username: ubuntu
- Computer Name: Public IPv4 address of your EC2 instance (e.g., 35.173.131.168)
- Password: Instance ID of your EC2 instance (e.g., i-0ed22c98429479e1c)
Connect with RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) to run the sample code:
- Launch your RDP client software on your local machine.
- Connect using the public IP address of your instance, on port 3389.
- When prompted, enter the username (ubuntu) and the password (your Instance ID). When connecting with Windows Remote Desktop Connection, go to "More Options" and select "Allow me to save credentials." This is the only way the app will prompt you to enter a password.
- Open Visual Studio Code from the Applications panel.
- Select and open the appropriate file and execute the script by clicking Run.
Connect with VNC (Virtual Network Computing) to run the sample code::
- Launch your VNC client on your local machine.
- Connect using the public IP address of your instance, on port 5901.
- When prompted, enter the password (your Instance ID).
- Open Visual Studio Code from the Applications panel.
- Select and open the appropriate file and execute the script by clicking Run.
We keep software installations to a minimum, and no sensitive data is stored on the virtual machine instance. If you encounter any issues or have additional questions, please refer to our documentation or reach out to our support team.
