This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for an unattended first-boot installation of WordPress with WooCommerce and the Storefront theme pre-activated, per-instance admin/database credentials and TLS certificate, pre-configured Amazon CloudWatch log/metric shipping and AWS Systems Manager access, SSH hardening, and vendor support from CloudSOE.
Launch a production ready WooCommerce store on AWS in minutes, on a stack actually tuned for commerce rather than a blog with a shop bolted on. Built for merchants, agencies and developers who know that store performance is revenue: every second of checkout latency costs conversions, and generic one click images leave that money on the table. This image ships WordPress and WooCommerce current stable on a hardened stack.
What you get out of the box
Current stable WordPress and WooCommerce
CIS aligned OS hardening, UFW allowing 80, 443 and SSH only; HTTP redirects to HTTPS after certificate setup
WP-CLI installed for scripted product imports, updates, backups and migrations
Common use cases
Merchant stores: catalogue, cart, checkout and order management you own, without per transaction platform fees on the software itself
Agencies: repeatable client store deployment with WP-CLI scripting and identical hardened bases
Migrations: from hosted platforms via documented product and order import paths, with a services option
Staging and production parity: same AMI for both, snapshot promotion documented
Usage notes
Attach an IAM instance role with the AWS-managed policies CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy and AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore to activate CloudWatch and Session Manager. No AWS credentials are stored on the image.
Credentials: /opt/wordpress/default-wordpress-credentials.txt. Web root: /var/www/wordpress. Apache vhost: /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress.conf. TLS: /etc/ssl/certs/wordpress-selfsigned.crt and /etc/ssl/private/wordpress-selfsigned.key. After moving to a domain, update the home/siteurl options with wp-cli (see the login banner).
Your store is already installed. Browse to https:/// (self-signed certificate; replaceable).
Log into https:///wp-admin with the credentials from /opt/wordpress/default-wordpress-credentials.txt (SSH in as 'ubuntu' to read it).
Your first login opens the WooCommerce setup wizard (payments, shipping, products).
Monitoring: attach an IAM instance role with the AWS-managed policies CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy and AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore to enable CloudWatch logs/metrics (namespace CloudSOE/woocommerce) and Session Manager.

You pay by the hour for the Amazon EC2 instance you run this pre-configured WooCommerce store image on. The software price is the same across instances; your hourly rate changes with the instance you pick. Options span burstable t2 and t3 sizes for light traffic up to large m4, m5, m6, and m7 families, including memory, network-optimized, disk-backed, and bare-metal variants. Sizes scale from nano and micro up to metal and 48xlarge. Choose a size to match your traffic and performance needs; billing rises with instance capacity.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly charge cover, and what runs on the instance?
You pay per hour for the EC2 instance running the pre-built WooCommerce image. The image bundles the WooCommerce plugin, Storefront theme, WP-CLI, Apache, PHP, MariaDB, phpMyAdmin, HTTPS, and SFTP on a hardened Ubuntu base. WordPress installs automatically at first boot, so no web installer setup is needed.
Am I charged when I stop or pause the instance?
The software meters running instance-hours. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software charge. Stopped instances may still incur separate AWS storage fees for attached volumes, billed by AWS. Your bill rises with the hours the chosen instance runs, matching your traffic patterns.
Why do the hourly rates differ across the many instance types listed?
The software fee stays the same across every instance type. The differing rate reflects the underlying EC2 instance capacity you select. Burstable t2 and t3 sizes suit light traffic. Larger m4, m5, m6, and m7 families, including memory, network, disk, and bare-metal variants, handle heavier loads.
