Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for the inclusion and pre-configuration of GPU drivers, software toolkits, and associated AI tools and libraries and for access to CIQ support for basic support engagements via email or ticket. RLC Pro AI (Rocky Linux from CIQ Pro - AI) is CIQs Enterprise Linux distribution specializing in a streamlined experience for deploying and managing AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. RLC Pro AI provides an optimized, pre-validated environment that significantly reduces the complexity typically associated with setting up compute-intensive infrastructure. RLC Pro AI includes the upstream long-term stable Linux kernel paired with the familiar userspace of Rocky Linux 9 from CIQ, offering enhanced hardware compatibility and better GPU utilization than available on a classic Enterprise Linux platform. In addition, RLC Pro AI includes NVIDIA GPU drivers and the CUDA Toolkit out of the box saving installation and setup time, and includes DOCA-OFED networking so it is cluster-ready for the most demanding workloads. CIQ has also provided optimized builds of common libraries such as PyTorch so you can immediately deploy your accelerated workloads. This offer includes Basic Support from CIQ. See the Support Details for information on the available scope of support and how to access our support team, and review the CIQ Support Overview under Learning Resources for more information on the scope of this included support product. CIQ offers SLA-backed Standard and Premium support tiers which are available via Private Offer.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the software running on each Arm-based (arm64) EC2 instance, plus CIQ Basic Support. Pricing has no upfront commitment; you are billed only for the hours each instance runs. The many dimensions represent EC2 instance types, not feature tiers. They span general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, GPU, and high-performance computing families in sizes from nano to metal. Larger instances carry more resources, so the hourly rate scales with instance size. Choose the instance type that matches your workload; the software and support terms stay the same across all options.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one running arm64 EC2 instance of that type, billed per hour. The charge covers the operating system software and CIQ Basic Support on that instance. You pay separately for the underlying AWS compute. Each instance you launch meters independently and adds to the same invoice.
Hourly software charges apply only while an instance is running. A stopped or terminated instance does not accrue software hours. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but the CIQ software and support meter running time only.
No. Pricing is per instance-hour based on the instance type, not per GPU. GPU-capable families like g5g bill the same hourly software rate for that type regardless of how many GPUs the workload uses. CIQ notes its subscription model is per-node, not per-GPU.

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.

Usage instructions
Connect to the instance over SSH using the instance public IP, with username "rocky" and the private key generated when you launched the instance.
Example command: $ ssh -i ./ssh-private-key.pem rocky@PublicIPAddress
When you are logged in as "rocky", you can use the sudo command to run administrative tasks. Note that the specific command you use to connect to the instance may vary depending on the operating system and ssh client you are using on your end. By default, the instance is secured by AWS network security configuration; you may optionally install your choice of a local firewall such as firewalld after launch.
