This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for image hardening, maintenance, and support. Memcached on Amazon Linux 2023, security-hardened for production: minimal package set, SSH key-only access, IMDSv2-only, bound to loopback with UDP disabled (no amplification vector), and continuously patched images.
Overview
Memcached (Hardened) on Amazon Linux 2023 is a production-ready, security-hardened image of the Memcached distributed memory object caching system, maintained and supported by Derek Coleman & Associates Inc.
This is repackaged open-source software. Memcached is developed by the Memcached community and is distributed under the BSD 3-Clause license. This product bundles unmodified upstream Memcached on a hardened Amazon Linux 2023 base; the charges associated with this listing are for image hardening, continuous patching, vulnerability scanning, and business-day support - not for the underlying open-source software, which remains free.
Hardening baseline: minimal package footprint, SSH key-only access (password authentication disabled), IMDSv2 enforced, Memcached bound to 127.0.0.1 with UDP disabled so the instance cannot be used as an amplification vector. Widening the bind address in /etc/sysconfig/memcached and opening TCP 11211 to trusted CIDRs is a deliberate customer configuration step. Images are rebuilt, scanned for HIGH and CRITICAL vulnerabilities, and republished on a regular cadence so that new launches start current. Manage the service with systemd: sudo systemctl restart memcached.
Highlights
- Production-ready: systemd-managed Memcached; expose only to trusted CIDRs after you widen the bind.
- Security-hardened at build time: minimal packages, key-only SSH, IMDSv2-only, bound to loopback, UDP disabled to prevent amplification abuse.
- Continuously patched: rebuilt, vulnerability-scanned, and republished on a regular cadence.

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.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimension | Cost/hour |
|---|---|
c7i.xlarge Recommended | $0.46 |
c7i.4xlarge | $1.84 |
c7i.2xlarge | $0.92 |
Dimensions summary
You pay hourly for the software based on the EC2 instance size you launch. Three sizes are offered: c7i.xlarge (4 vCPU / 8 GiB), c7i.2xlarge (8 vCPU / 16 GiB), and c7i.4xlarge (16 vCPU / 32 GiB). The hourly software charge scales up as you move to larger instances with more vCPUs and memory. All three run the same hardened image; you pick the size that fits your workload. AWS infrastructure charges are billed separately by AWS. There is no subscription and no minimum. Charges stop when you terminate the instance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each instance size sets how much processing and memory you get. c7i.xlarge gives 4 vCPU and 8 GiB, c7i.2xlarge gives 8 vCPU and 16 GiB, and c7i.4xlarge gives 16 vCPU and 32 GiB. More memory lets Memcached hold a larger cache dataset in RAM.
Software charges accrue only while the instance runs. Charges stop when you terminate the instance. A stopped instance stops software metering, but the attached gp3 EBS volume still incurs AWS storage fees. There is no subscription and no minimum commitment.
The Memcached software is free open-source under the BSD 3-Clause license. Your charge covers image hardening, continuous patching, vulnerability scanning, and business-day support. AWS infrastructure charges for compute and storage are separate and billed by AWS on your account.

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.
Version release notes
[Security] Refreshed image: rebuilt on the latest hardened Amazon Linux 2023 baseline; all OS packages current at build.

Usage instructions
- Launch from AWS Marketplace (1-Click or EC2 console).
- Connect via SSH with your EC2 key pair: ssh -i <key> ec2-user@<public-ip>. Root login is disabled; use sudo.
- Memcached binds to 127.0.0.1 with UDP disabled. To expose it, edit /etc/sysconfig/memcached (-l), then: sudo systemctl restart memcached, and open TCP 11211 to trusted CIDRs only.
- Verify: sudo systemctl status memcached.
- Sensitive data: there are no passwords or secrets anywhere in this product.
- Backup: snapshot the EBS volume (it contains all configuration and data).
- Resources: a single instance uses 1 EC2 instance and 1 gp3 EBS volume; no other AWS resources are created.
- Support: support@dcassociatesgroup.com .
