Pricing
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the software running on your chosen Amazon EC2 instance type. There is no upfront commitment. Pricing scales with the instance size you select, not with a plan or feature tier. The dimensions cover several instance families: general-purpose burstable types (t1, t2, t3, t3a), older general-purpose types (m1, m2, m3, m5), and video transcoding types (vt1). Within each family, hourly rates rise as compute capacity grows, from nano and micro sizes up to larger 2xlarge and 24xlarge sizes. You match the instance to your workload needs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you select, billed per hour. The rate covers the software plus the Ubuntu 16 operating system image with Container Guard. Each running instance meters separately. Underlying AWS infrastructure charges apply on top and appear on the same invoice.
Hourly software charges apply only while an instance runs. Stopped instances do not accrue software charges. However, stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes. The software licence meters running hours only, so shutting an instance down halts the software portion of your bill.
Your hourly rate follows the instance type you run at any given time. Moving from a smaller size to a larger one raises the rate only for hours the larger instance runs. There is no plan upgrade or tier commitment. You can mix sizes across separate instances as needed.

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.
