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.

Usage instructions
Choosing a Machine Type: The default machine type was chosen to be economical for developers and not intended for benchmarking. NATS can run on extremely low resource environments so we recommend choosing an machine type that meets your needs as detailed here:
https://docs.nats.io/running-a-nats-service/introduction/installation#hardware-requirements
Note that the NATS server is usually network bound, so be sure to choose a machine type that meets your network requirements. When JetStream is enabled, you will also need to account for storage performance with EBS. Here are some suggestions as a starting place, although we recommend testing a variety of images to ensure your throughput and storage needs are met.
NATS Core:
- Basic Development and Experimentation: t3a.medium
- High Speed Production Usage: c4.2xlarge
- Extreme Performance/Benchmarking: c6a.32xlarge
NATS JetStream:
- Basic Development and Experimentation: t3a.medium
- High Speed Production Usage: d3.8xlarge
- Extreme Performance/Benchmarking: d3en.12xlarge
Once the VM is deployed, access your instance via SSH and refer to the file /etc/nats-server/auth.conf for the default system account credentials and user account credentials.
