Overview
This FreePBX product has been packaged to include AWS specific features/drivers, a unique single-command SmartUpgrade system, and includes LIVE TECHNICAL SUPPORT as part of your subscription! We are an Authorized Sangoma Software Development Partner providing a "true-to-distro" build of FreePBX specifically tailored to take advantage of the AWS EcoSystem. FreePBX has developed over the past 15 years to be the most widely deployed PBX platform in use across the world today. The flexibility of the platform allows Users, Resellers, Enthusiasts and Partners to utilize the FreePBX EcoSystem to build robust communications solutions that are powerful but at the same time easy to implement and support.
AWS FreePBX is a pairing of CentOS 7.8, FreePBX 16, and Asterisk 16 with full Commercial Module support through Sangoma and included/premium technical support provided by TheWebMachine Networks. NOTE: To launch an instance running FreePBX v15, select AMI v4.x. However, this is generally not necessary, as FreePBX v16 does not contain any breaking changes from v15 and can restore previous version backups.

Just Works - Rock Solid 12 months in.
We deployed this product just over 12 months ago. We are a mission critical public service agency and have had great results. No issues whatsoever. We haven't had to use support until today just to see how AWS subscriptions work for renewal and had an answer on the weekend within 3 hours for a question that was more about how AWS works than this product. Would absolutely recommend this!
it did not work for me
I have spent more than 14 hours setting up this Freepbx, it keeps crushing, not accessible either via GUI and SSH. i have Launched few ints ,all same results, i have used the server type they recommended , but still not luck ! whenever i entry setting, the same inst goes offline, I've been a user of Freepbx since 2016, I'm familiar with it .i don't see any where on AWS page for support!. I regret the time i wasted using this garbage , I thought it would be faster and simpler to launch freepbs on AWS , but i guess i was wrong! i'm going to back to other hosting Co
Amazing support from TheWebMachine
We've been using freepbx on-prem for ages. We've chosen this AMI to migrate some of our workload to the cloud and have the option for support from a sangoma partner.
Indeed, we reached out to TheWebMachine for a few highly technical questions and their responses nailed it, 100% to-the-point without hassle!
Thank you very much!
Flawless Setup Support
After setting up the FreePBX instance I experienced a couple configuration challenges. I reached out to TheWebMachine support and was provided step by step assistance. I would recommend their 30 day trial and giving TheWebMachine a chance to streamline your PBX implementation.
Easy install and setup with GREAT customer support.
I moved from an on premises FreePBX to AWS. I had some hiccups along the way (my fault for not paying close enough attention to documentation), The support I received was above par. Quick responses and very informative. I probably would still be trying to fix this 6 months later if not for their support. Definitely recommend this AMI
