Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 machine image. Pricing is usage-based, so you are billed only for the hours each instance runs. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, from small burstable sizes like t2.nano and t3.micro up to memory-heavy, compute-heavy, GPU, and bare-metal options such as x2iedn.32xlarge and u-24tb1.112xlarge. The hourly rate scales with the instance size and family you select. You choose the instance type that fits your workload, and the software cost follows that choice.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly charge covers the hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 machine image running on the AWS EC2 instance type you select. The image is pre-configured for security. The compute size, memory, and any GPU or bare-metal capacity come from the instance type you pick.
The software charge meters running hours only. A stopped or paused instance does not accrue this hourly software cost. Underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volume may still apply while the instance is stopped, but those are separate from the software charge.
Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type. The hourly software rate scales with the size and family you choose. Small burstable sizes carry one rate, while large memory, compute, GPU, and bare-metal types carry higher rates. You pay the rate tied to the single instance type you run.

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.

This Red Hat Enterprise Linux RHEL 9 Latest image has charges associated with it for security hardening and optimization provided by ProComputers. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 is a mature, fully supported enterprise platform, and this edition keeps it up to date for you: each instance automatically installs the newest security patches when it launches, so you are always running the most secure version available. That removes the usual first-day patch cycle and helps every new server join your environment in a known, current state. Cloud-init automation, ENA networking, OpenSSL 3, enforcing SELinux, and key-only SSH access complete a hardened configuration for AWS EC2. Built, tested, and maintained by ProComputers, RHEL 9 Latest is a practical base for applications, databases, and automated pipelines.
This Red Hat Enterprise Linux RHEL 9 image has charges associated with it for security hardening and optimization provided by ProComputers. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 is a mature, widely deployed major release that remains fully supported alongside its successor, version 10. It is built on the 5.14 kernel with OpenSSL 3, system-wide cryptographic policies, and updated developer toolchains. On AWS EC2, this image launches quickly, takes cloud-init user-data for automated setup, and uses ENA networking for fast, consistent throughput. SELinux runs in enforcing mode, access is limited to SSH keys, and direct root login is disabled, so each instance starts from a secure baseline. With a long lifecycle and controlled updates from integrated repositories, RHEL 9 from ProComputers is a modern, well-maintained foundation for applications, data services, and container workloads.
This Red Hat Enterprise Linux RHEL 9.8 image has charges associated with it for security hardening and optimization provided by ProComputers. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.8 is the most recent minor release of the 9 series, gathering the fixes, security updates, and refinements of earlier 9.x versions into the most polished form of the platform available today. It suits teams that want to stay on the proven 9 line rather than move to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 yet, while still running the newest updates for that line. On AWS EC2, the image includes cloud-init automation, ENA networking, OpenSSL 3, enforcing SELinux, and key-only SSH access. Built, tested, and maintained by ProComputers, RHEL 9.8 provides a stable, hardened foundation for applications, databases, and CI/CD pipelines.
This Red Hat Enterprise Linux RHEL 9 LVM image has charges associated with it for security hardening and optimization provided by ProComputers. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 is a mature, fully supported enterprise platform, delivered here on a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) disk layout. Because volumes can be resized and extended without downtime, developers and administrators gain real flexibility and control over storage in AWS environments. Capacity can be added online, rearranged between logical volumes, and managed in layers, all without rebuilding the instance. OpenSSL 3, enforcing SELinux, key-only SSH access, cloud-init automation, and ENA networking round out a hardened configuration. Built, tested, and maintained by ProComputers, RHEL 9 LVM suits production systems whose data keeps growing.
