Deploy Hermes AI Agent on AWS with Zero Inbound Firewall Rules
A developer deployed Nous Research's open-source Hermes Agent on AWS EC2 with no inbound security group rules, using AWS Systems Manager for browser access and Telegram long-polling for mobile. The setup costs ~$35/month with persistent storage on EFS and compute on EBS. All services bind to localhost only, eliminating the need for open ports or VPN.

This is a clever, cost-effective architecture for personal AI agent deployment, but its reliance on outbound-only connectivity may not scale for multi-user or production workloads.
