Redis Open Source Software (OSS) is now available through an official AWS Marketplace listing owned by Redis. The listing includes a Redis-published Amazon Machine Image (AMI), allowing teams to launch Redis on Amazon EC2 while retaining control of the surrounding infrastructure and deployment.

Open Source Redis 8.2 is the latest release eligible for extended support, with Redis providing up to five years of ongoing maintenance, security scanning, and patches for newly identified CVEs. As an open-source, in-memory data store built for fast application performance, Redis OSS supports caching, session management, real-time analytics, queues, and other low-latency workloads, giving teams the flexibility, speed, broad developer ecosystem, and confidence they need to build and operate modern applications.

For organizations that already purchase software through AWS Marketplace, this adds Redis OSS to a familiar procurement path. Engineering teams get an official image to deploy, and procurement and security teams get a listing with identifiable product and publisher information.

This Redis OSS listing joins a growing portfolio of Redis offerings. [Redis Cloud](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/) provides a fully managed Redis experience with scalability, high availability, backups, and monitoring. For organizations that prefer to manage Redis in their own environment, [Redis Software (Redis Enterprise)](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/) delivers enterprise-grade capabilities through a self-managed deployment.

## Why use an official listing

Installing Redis through a package manager or downloading it from GitHub is straightforward for developers. Production approval can require more scrutiny. Security teams need confidence in the software’s source, procurement needs to review the commercial terms, and infrastructure teams need to understand what they will operate.

The official listing is designed for teams that want to manage Redis on their own AWS infrastructure while using AWS Marketplace for procurement.

This solution delivers key benefits by combining an official image maintained by Redis, seamless deployment on Amazon EC2, and procurement through an established enterprise marketplace. Engineering teams gain access to verified software directly from the community, while operations teams maintain complete oversight of their environment, configuration, and security posture. Furthermore, Redis continuously scans these published builds for potential vulnerabilities, delivering timely security updates and bug fixes so organizations can operate their deployments with peace of mind.

Customers want to run Redis OSS delivered by the Redis team, and with the official Redis listing, the publisher is clear. Teams can review the Redis image, version, and product details before launching it in their AWS environment, and know it is created and delivered by the official Redis community

## Launch Redis directly on EC2

The listing packages Redis OSS 8.2 on Ubuntu 24.04 as an AMI that can be launched in your AWS account. Your team does not need to prepare its own image or select a build from another publisher before getting started.

You remain in control of the EC2 infrastructure, Redis configuration, and deployment topology. That makes the listing a fit for organizations that want to run Redis themselves and integrate it with their existing AWS environment.

The listing simplifies how you obtain and launch Redis; it does not replace your operational responsibilities. Your team continues to manage security settings, monitoring, backups, updates, and the rest of the deployment lifecycle and Redis will manage the version and patches.

## Use your existing AWS purchasing process

For organizations that use AWS Marketplace, the listing provides a familiar route for review and purchase. Applicable Marketplace charges appear on the AWS bill, making it easier to track Redis alongside other AWS spending.

Eligible Marketplace spend may also count toward AWS commitments, subject to your contract terms and applicable programme limits.

Your internal approval process still applies. The difference is that teams can use an established AWS channel rather than create a separate path for acquiring the software.
