NoSQL Databases

Overview

This page is the entry point for the SecureAnyCloud Hardened Apache Cassandra, FerretDB & NoSQL Database AMIs listing on AWS Marketplace. The listing is a single product that offers several products and releases as separate software versions.

Each AMI is a security-hardened NoSQL database built on a fully patched base, with the latest security updates applied at build time. Subscribe once, choose the version you want from the Software version list at launch, then open its guide below for the full setup and connection walk-through.

What SecureAnyCloud adds to every version:

  • Fully patched base images: every AMI is built by SecureAnyCloud on a current, security-updated operating system
  • Secure-by-default configuration: administrator passwords, database credentials and application secrets are generated uniquely on the first boot of each instance
  • No default password, no shared secrets: no default login exists and no two instances share a secret
  • Localhost-bound services: services such as databases and caches are bound to localhost by default, which reduces your attack surface from the moment you launch
  • Per-product documentation: each product's guide covers enabling HTTPS, the ports it needs and day-two operational tasks

Pricing is metered hourly per EC2 instance type and is the same for every version in this listing. The recommended instance type is m5.large.

How to pick a version

  • Open the listing on AWS Marketplace, choose View purchase options, then choose Subscribe. One subscription covers every product and release in the listing, and the free trial starts with it.
  • When the subscription is active, choose Launch your software.
  • Choose One-click launch from AWS Marketplace, or Launch from EC2 Console for full control. In Version, select the product and release you want.
  • Choose your Region, an instance type (m5.large is recommended) and your EC2 key pair. Select a security group that opens the ports listed in the product's guide, then choose Launch.
  • After launch, open the product's guide below for first login.

Each version is a separate software version, named <product> <release> on <operating system> - <date>, for example Apache Cassandra 5.0.9 on Ubuntu 24.04 - YYYY-MM-DD. The date is when that version was added to the listing.

You can run several products from the same subscription. Launch one instance per product, each from its own software version.

Versions in this listing, newest release first:

  • Apache Cassandra: 5.0.9 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • Apache CouchDB: 3.5.3 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • Apache HBase: 2.5.16 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • BaseX: 12.4 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • eXist-db: 6.4.1 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • FerretDB: 2.7.0 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • Warp 10: 3.5.0 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • XTDB: 2.2.0 on Ubuntu 24.04

Security model

Every version in this listing follows the same model:

  • No default login. Administrator passwords, database passwords and application secrets are generated on the first boot of each instance and written to a root-only file. No two instances share a secret.
  • Only the documented ports. Each guide lists the ports the product needs. Open only those in your security group.
  • Database port closed to the internet. Each version's default security group opens SSH, plus HTTP and HTTPS (80/443) only for versions with a web interface. None opens a database port. Reach the database port over an SSH tunnel, or allow it only from the networks of your applications, never from 0.0.0.0/0.
  • Patched base. The operating system is fully patched when the image is built.
  • HTTPS on first boot. Apache CouchDB 3.5.3, Apache HBase 2.5.16, BaseX 12.4, Warp 10 3.5.0 and eXist-db 6.4.1 (all on Ubuntu 24.04) serve HTTPS with a per-instance certificate from first boot. The other versions open no web port (80/443). They are managed over SSH, and their guides list the ports they use.

How to tell which version you launched

The version you chose appears on the instance's launch record in the EC2 console (AMI name and description) and in your AWS Marketplace subscription.

On the instance itself, the login message shown after SSH names the product and its credentials file. Open the matching guide above for the rest of the walk-through.
