Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the AWS EC2 instance type you run. Each dimension maps to one instance size, so pricing scales with the compute, memory, or accelerator capacity that instance provides. Compute-optimized (c-series), memory-optimized (r-, x-, u-series), storage (d-, i-series), general-purpose (m-, t-series), and GPU or accelerator families (g-, p-, inf-, trn-series) each carry their own hourly rate. Larger sizes within a family cost more per hour. This rate is the vendor's support charge for the packaged desktop software, billed on top of standard AWS infrastructure fees. No upfront commitment applies.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate is the vendor's support charge for the packaged CentOS Stream 10 desktop with the XFCE graphical interface and a preconfigured user account. It applies per instance-hour. You also pay standard AWS infrastructure fees for the EC2 instance you run, billed separately by AWS.
The software charge meters running instance-hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software fee. Underlying AWS storage costs for the volume may still apply while stopped, but those are AWS charges, not the vendor's support charge.
Billing is pay-as-you-go. You pay only for the hours each instance runs, with no upfront commitment. The rate changes with the instance type you choose, so cost scales with the compute, memory, or accelerator capacity you select for that hour.

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.
Version release notes
Updated CentOS Stream 10 image with refreshed system packages, an X11-compatible XFCE desktop and Firefox ESR; verified first boot, desktop access and reboot reliability. Restrict SSH/RDP sources to your own IP before connecting, and check X11 compatibility after DNF upgrades of the rebuilt XFCE components.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Launch the x86_64 AMI on the tested/recommended m6i.large with your EC2 key pair. Before connecting, replace the provided loopback-only security-group source defaults with your trusted public IPv4 /32: TCP22 for SSH administration and TCP3389 for RDP; do not open these ports to the internet. SSH as ec2-user using your launch key. Connect with an RDP client as elm, using the EC2 instance ID as the initial password, and change that password after first login. elm is a nonroot wheel user; sudo requires its password. SELinux remains Enforcing and SSH password/keyboard-interactive login is disabled. Native DNF administration is retained; after updating the rebuilt XFCE packages, check X11 desktop compatibility.
