This listing is free, so the software itself carries no charge. The pricing table lists hourly rates per Arm-based EC2 instance type used as EKS worker nodes. Each dimension maps to a single instance size within a family such as general purpose, compute, memory, or storage-optimized. Pricing scales with the instance you pick: larger sizes within a family run more resources per hour. You choose the instance types that match your Kubernetes workload, and you pay the standard EC2 hourly rate for each node you run.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hour of a listed instance type actually cover for billing?
Each dimension maps to one Arm-based EC2 instance running as an EKS worker node. You pay for every hour that node runs. One running node of a given size equals one billable unit. The software itself is free, so the hourly charge reflects the standard EC2 compute rate.
Am I charged when an EKS worker node is stopped or scaled down?
Hourly charges apply only while a node runs. If you scale down or stop a node, its hourly compute charge stops accruing. Underlying AWS storage for the volume may still cost money, but the instance hours meter running time only. Auto-scaling worker pools let you match node count to demand.
Why do larger instance types in the same family cost more per hour?
Each family, such as general purpose, compute, memory, or storage-optimized, offers several sizes. Larger sizes provide more CPU, memory, or storage per node. Your hourly rate reflects the resources that size delivers. You pick the instance types that match your Kubernetes workload and specialized hardware needs.

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
For Ubuntu Cloud Guest it is suggested to manually configure your Security Group/Firewall settings. The 1-Click Security Group opens only port 22 so that you can access your instance via ssh using login 'ubuntu'. If you chose the 1-Click Security Group, you may change it later to enable applications using the AWS Console or API.
