Dimensions summary
You pay for this hardened CentOS 8.1 image by the hour, based on the EC2 instance type you run it on. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS instance size and family, such as general purpose, compute optimized, memory optimized, storage optimized, or GPU and accelerated types. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware carry higher hourly rates. There are no tiers to choose; you simply select the instance that fits your workload. Billing runs only while an instance is active, so costs scale with the number and size of instances you launch.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to one running EC2 instance of that type, carrying the hardened CentOS 8.1 image. The rate covers the software license, metered per instance-hour. You launch the image on the instance size that matches your CPU, memory, or GPU needs. AWS infrastructure charges for that instance apply separately.
Software charges apply per active instance-hour. When you stop an instance, the hourly software charge stops accruing. Underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volumes may still apply while the instance is stopped. The license meters only running time, so idle or powered-off instances add no software cost.
Each running instance bills independently at its own hourly rate. Your total software cost is the sum of every active instance-hour across all instance types you launch. Running a larger instance costs more per hour than a smaller one. There is no shared pool or tier discount for running multiple instances.

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.
