Overview
Based on Google's V8 JavaScript engine, Node.js allows developers to build scalable, real-time web applications with two-way connections between the client and server. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that is lightweight and efficient, making it perfect for data-intensive applications that run across distributed devices. The Bitnami Node.js package includes the latest version of Node.js, Apache, Python, and Redis.
Using a pre-configured Node.js environment gets you up and running quickly because everything works out of the box. Manually configuring an environment can be a difficult and time-consuming hurdle to developing an application. Bitnami has done this work for you, so you can avoid installing and configuring multiple components and libraries and instead focus on writing awesome code

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
- Updated node to 22.11.0
- Updated virtualenv to 20.27.1

Usage instructions
Once the instance is running, you can connect to your using your Amazon private key and the 'bitnami' login via SSH. You can find a quick guide at https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/infrastructure/nodejs/get-started/first-steps/

Excellent for server beginners
I am used to work on local, and tried cloud hosting for the first time with EC2. I found this nodejs AMI for my backend. It was so simple to connect and setup, thanks to their very clear tutorial. I could then repeat the process with my git repo and managed to install jenkins and open a new port. Very intuitive but maybe not that easy for an inexperienced programmer/apache user. Still perfectly fitted my needs.
Good version of ubuntu
thank you bitnami
this was a good version of ubuntu with everything ready to run node.js applications.
The best of all, it is a free resource.
Nod.js
If you are new to Node.js - this is hands down the BEST way to get started! Make sure to at least skim the user guide. For example: logging on with the user name "bitnami" and not "root" (or "ec2-user" as some on-line help guides would suggest). It is just not worth trying to figure out if you have the latest of everything installed. Because in addition to node, all the basic tools you need to get started are installed. So, far.. very stable and fast!
Works as described, but not as useful as it could be
I was building a node based web server, because this comes with Apache installed and listening on Port 80 that becomes a serious annoyance. Disabling pieces of the bitnami stack are much more complicated than they should be.
Since installing node on another AMI is so easy (Ubuntu or Amazon Linux), I would recommend looking elsewhere.
Excellent out of the box configuration
Love Bitnami! Save me the headache of installing configuring software packages for our production environment. If your running on a multi core system you can use the node.js cluster module to take advantage of your multi core system.
