Launch a secure, scalable Odoo ERP environment on AWS in minutes. Get a full suite of pre-configured business applications, optimized for performance and backed by 24/7 expert support.
In today's competitive landscape, businesses need integrated, flexible, and powerful software to manage their operations. Odoo has emerged as a leading all-in-one, open-source business management suite, offering a wide range of applications from CRM and sales to inventory, accounting, and manufacturing. It’s a comprehensive alternative to fragmented, proprietary systems.
However, deploying a production-grade Odoo instance requires significant technical expertise. You need to configure the application server, set up a PostgreSQL database, manage dependencies, secure the environment with SSL, and ensure it can scale. This complexity can be a major barrier for businesses that want to move quickly.
To solve this, Meetrix provides a pre-configured Odoo AMI on AWS Marketplace. It’s a one-click solution that delivers a secure, scalable, and production-ready Odoo environment, allowing you to focus on your business, not your infrastructure.

What is Odoo?
Odoo is a suite of open-source business management applications. Unlike traditional ERP systems, Odoo is modular, allowing you to start with a few apps and add more as your needs grow. Key modules include:
- CRM: Track leads, manage your sales pipeline, and close opportunities.
- Sales: Create professional quotations and manage sales orders.
- eCommerce: Build a beautiful online store integrated with your inventory and sales.
- Accounting: Manage invoices, bills, bank reconciliation, and financial reports.
- Inventory: Optimize your warehouse with an advanced, double-entry inventory system.
- Manufacturing: Manage bills of materials, plan manufacturing orders, and track work orders.
- Project Management: Organize, schedule, plan, and analyze your projects.
Technical Overview of the Deployment
For developers and system administrators, our deployment is managed via a robust CloudFormation stack that automates the entire setup process. Here’s a summary of the architecture:
Core Configuration (CloudFormation)
The deployment is initiated from the AWS Marketplace using our Odoo AMI. The CloudFormation template handles the provisioning of all necessary resources.
- Instance Type: Recommended `t3.small` EC2 instance for a good balance of performance and cost, with other options available.
- Networking: Deploys into a default or existing VPC with configurable CIDR blocks. SSH and HTTP/S access is restricted by IP for security.
- Database Backend: Comes with a pre-configured PostgreSQL database, the official database for Odoo.
- Web Server: NGINX is used as a reverse proxy for enhanced performance and security.
- Domain & SSL: Supports custom domain names. SSL certificates are automatically generated via Let's Encrypt if your domain is managed with AWS Route 53.
Post-Deployment Steps
After the stack is created, you simply need to point your domain to the instance's public IP.
- DNS Configuration: Create an 'A' record in your DNS provider that maps your domain to the public IP of the EC2 instance.
- Initial Access: Access your Odoo instance via the URL provided in the CloudFormation outputs. The first step is to create your master database and administrator account.
