AWS AMI 2026-07-17

The EC2 scope AMIs null-runtime-91 (x86) and null-runtime-arm-21 (arm64) let a scope skip the nginx sidecar so the balancer reaches your application directly.

Highlights​

  • Skip the nginx sidecar. Set NP_SKIP_NGINX=true and the instance runs your application container without nginx in front of it, publishing port 8080 directly. Use NP_APP_CONTAINER_EXTRA_PORTS to change that port mapping. In this mode, HTTP metrics and traffic logs are not produced; application logs keep flowing. Without the flag, nothing changes. See Skip the nginx sidecar, and talk to us before you enable it.

Upgrade​

The AMIs are shared with your AWS account. Find them by name (null-runtime-91 and null-runtime-arm-21), set their IDs in ami.id of your EC2 provider, and redeploy your scopes. Each scope keeps running the previous AMI until it's redeployed. To track that rollout, see AMI drift detection.
