This product has charges associated with it for seller-performed integration of Memcached 1.6.9 with CentOS Stream 9, application of a verified operating-system hardening baseline, preparation of cache service configuration and startup settings, and final AMI testing on a documented EC2 baseline.
Overview
This product provides Memcached 1.6.9 integrated with CentOS Stream 9 and delivered as an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) by ThinkCloud. The image includes a pre-configured, security-hardened distributed cache service with startup and connection settings for immediate deployment.
Memcached is a distributed in-memory object caching system that reduces database load and latency for dynamic web applications. This AMI provides a cache service on port 11211 with a 64 MB default cache size, tunable cache limits, and connection settings through /etc/sysconfig/memcached.
The lightweight service is suitable for caching database query results, session data, and rendered page fragments in web and DevOps workloads.
Marketplace software charges cover seller-performed software and operating-system integration, preparation of cache service configuration, application of the verified hardening baseline, repeatable image construction, and final AMI testing. Support and maintenance are supplementary services and are not the sole basis for the software charges.
Highlights
- Professional technical support and fast response
- Optimized configuration for Memcached 1.6.9 on CentOS Stream 9

Pricing
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.
