Overview
CentOS Stream 9 Server + AWS Tools (CLI)
A pre-configured CentOS Stream 9 AMI with AWS CLI v2 pre-installed, built by Cloud Infrastructure Services for DevOps engineers, system administrators, and cloud teams who need a production-ready Linux server on AWS without manual setup.
What Is Included
- CentOS Stream 9 - Community enterprise Linux distribution derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) sources, providing a stable and predictable server environment
- AWS CLI v2 - Pre-installed and ready to use, with support for AWS Single Sign-On (SSO), interactive features, and management of multiple AWS services from the command line
- Optimized Configuration - Image tuned for AWS cloud deployment with production workloads in mind
Key Use Cases
DevOps Automation Hub: A DevOps engineer launches this AMI as a management node to run nightly infrastructure-as-code deployments. With AWS CLI v2 already configured, they can immediately execute scripts that provision resources across multiple AWS accounts, schedule automated backups, and orchestrate multi-service workflows - all without spending time on initial CLI installation and dependency management.
Bastion Host for Multi-Account Management: System administrators deploy this AMI as a secure bastion host within a VPC. Using the pre-installed AWS CLI with SSO support, they manage resources across multiple AWS accounts from a single entry point, reducing the attack surface while maintaining full operational control.
CI/CD Pipeline Worker: Teams use this AMI as a base for build servers and pipeline runners. The pre-installed CLI eliminates setup steps in automation scripts, reducing pipeline initialization time and simplifying maintenance of build environments.
Why This AMI vs. a Vanilla CentOS Install
- Immediate Productivity - Skip the manual process of installing, configuring, and testing AWS CLI v2 and its dependencies
- AWS Integration - Pre-configured for AWS cloud environments with CLI tools ready for automation
- RHEL Compatibility - CentOS Stream 9 maintains binary compatibility with RHEL, making it suitable for organizations standardized on Red Hat ecosystems
- Community and Enterprise Support - Backed by a large open-source community with extensive documentation and package availability
- Reproducible Deployments - Use as a consistent base image across development, staging, and production environments
Requirements and Limitations
- This AMI provides a server environment (no GUI/desktop included)
- No database or web server is pre-installed - add packages as needed for your workload
- AWS CLI requires IAM credentials or an instance role with appropriate permissions to interact with AWS services
- Recommended for use with x86_64 instance types
- Users are responsible for applying ongoing security updates after deployment
- No web server, application framework, or database is bundled by default

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the CentOS Stream 9 Server image bundled with AWS command-line tools. Pricing is not tiered by features. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type you choose to run. Your hourly rate depends on the instance size and family you select. Smaller instances like t2.micro cost less per hour, while large memory, compute, or GPU instances such as x1e.32xlarge or p4d.24xlarge cost more. The software runs the same across all instances. You control your cost by matching instance size to your workload needs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly rate covers one running EC2 instance of the type you select. The image bundles CentOS Stream 9 with AWS command-line tools preinstalled. You pay the software rate for that instance type plus the underlying AWS compute charge. Larger instance families carry a different hourly software rate.
The software rate meters running instance-hours only. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software charge. You may still pay AWS for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but the software licence bills active running time.
Yes. Your bill follows whichever instance type is running. Move a workload to a larger family and the matching hourly software rate applies for the hours it runs. Move back down and the rate drops. There is no manual upgrade step; billing tracks the active instance.
