Overview
This product has charges associated with it for seller support. This is open source software, which is repackaged by ThinkCloud. The additional cost is applicable to the extended support of 24-hour response time. A repackaged Memcached 1.6.9 environment on CentOS Stream 9, including support. It offers a pre-configured, security-hardened environment designed for immediate deployment.
Memcached is a high-performance, distributed in-memory object caching system designed to speed up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load. It is simple yet powerful, storing arbitrary data in memory using a simple key-value model. Memcached is widely used to cache database query results, session data, and rendered page fragments, reducing latency and improving application throughput at scale.
Benefits:
- Memcached 1.6.9 pre-installed and configured with automatic startup on boot
- Ready-to-use cache service on port 11211 with 64 MB default cache size
- Security-hardened CentOS Stream 9 base with minimal attack surface and latest updates
- Easily tunable cache size and connection limits via /etc/sysconfig/memcached
- Lightweight memory footprint ideal for high-throughput caching workloads
- 24-hour professional technical support from ThinkCloud experts
This AMI is ideal for web developers and DevOps engineers who need a fast, reliable distributed caching layer to reduce database load and accelerate application response times on AWS.
Highlights
- Professional technical support and fast response
- Optimized configuration for Memcached 1.6.9 on CentOS Stream 9

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.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for Memcached running on CentOS Stream 9, billed per running instance. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, you pick the AWS EC2 instance type that fits your workload, and the hourly software rate follows that choice. Options span many instance families, including general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage, and accelerated types. Sizes range from small instances to large multi-core and bare-metal configurations. Larger or more specialized instances carry higher hourly rates. You scale cost by starting or stopping instances and by selecting a size that matches your capacity needs. ThinkCloud provides vendor support.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you select, billed per hour. Each instance runs Memcached, an in-memory data cache, on the CentOS Stream 9 operating system. The hourly software rate applies while that instance is running, and it varies by the instance type you choose.
The software rate meters running time only. A stopped instance does not accrue software charges. Separate AWS charges, such as storage for attached volumes, may still apply while the instance is stopped. To stop the software cost, stop or terminate the instance.
There are no tiers. Cost tracks the instance type you pick. Smaller general-purpose types carry lower hourly rates. Larger multi-core, memory-optimized, storage, accelerated, or bare-metal types carry higher rates. Choose a type that matches your capacity, then start or stop instances to control total spend.

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.
