This product has charges associated with it for seller-performed integration of rqlite v8.15.0 with CentOS Stream 9, preparation of the distributed SQLite/Raft database runtime and service configuration, application of a verified operating-system hardening baseline, and final AMI testing on a documented EC2 baseline.
This product provides rqlite v8.15.0 integrated with CentOS Stream 9 and delivered as an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) by ThinkCloud. The image includes a pre-configured, security-hardened distributed SQL database runtime based on SQLite and the Raft consensus algorithm.
rqlite provides a fault-tolerant, strongly consistent replicated SQLite database through a simple HTTP API and built-in CLI client. It is suitable for low-resource and edge deployments that need distributed SQL without the operational complexity of larger database systems.
The service uses a single-binary deployment and binds to localhost by default until external access is explicitly configured.
Marketplace software charges cover seller-performed software and operating-system integration, preparation of the distributed database runtime and 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.

AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
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.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for Rqlite running on CentOS Stream 9, with support from ThinkCloud. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, so your rate depends on the instance you pick. Options span general purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and accelerated GPU families, in sizes from nano and micro up to metal and multi-xlarge configurations. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or storage carry higher hourly rates. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs, and you can switch instance types as your needs change.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit map to for billing?
Each dimension maps to one running AWS EC2 instance of that type. You pay the listed rate for every hour that single instance runs, including partial hours. Running two instances of the same type bills two hourly rates. The hardware specs of the chosen instance set your rate.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused?
The software rate meters running time only. A stopped or paused instance does not accrue the hourly software charge shown here. Underlying AWS storage or other resources tied to the stopped instance may still bill separately through AWS. Charges resume when you restart the instance.
What happens to my cost if I switch to a different instance type?
Your rate changes to match the new instance type. Each type carries its own hourly rate, so moving to an instance with more CPU, memory, or storage raises the rate, and a smaller instance lowers it. You are billed for hours run under each type.

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.

Usage instructions
Connection Method
Connect via SSH as user 'ec2-user' to the running instance.
Use sudo to run commands requiring root access, or switch to root using: sudo su - root
Application Details
Check Version: /usr/local/bin/rqlited -version
Server Binary: /usr/local/bin/rqlited
Client CLI: /usr/local/bin/rqlite
Data Directory: /var/lib/rqlite
Configuration: /etc/systemd/system/rqlite.service
(Note: Configuration is defined via command-line flags in the ExecStart line of the service file.)
Service Management
Start: sudo systemctl start rqlite
Stop: sudo systemctl stop rqlite
Status: sudo systemctl status rqlite
Network Configuration
rqlite Ports:
Port 4001 (TCP): HTTP API for client queries and management.
Port 4002 (TCP): Raft layer for internal cluster communication.
Default Status: Both ports are bound to 127.0.0.1 (localhost only). Secure by default.
How to Allow External Access to Port 4001:
Edit service file: sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/rqlite.service
Modify flag: change -http-addr 127.0.0.1:4001 to -http-addr 0.0.0.0:4001
AWS Security Group: Add inbound rule for TCP port 4001.
OS Firewall: sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=4001/tcp && sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Please allow SSH port 22 to limited IPs for access.
Local CLI Connection
Connect using the built-in CLI client (Note: use capital -H for host, -h is for help):
rqlite -H 127.0.0.1 -p 4001
or simply: rqlite (defaults to localhost:4001)
Verify with SQL:
CREATE TABLE test (id INTEGER, name TEXT);
INSERT INTO test VALUES (1, 'rqlite is working');
SELECT * FROM test;
.exit
