Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a hardened Rocky Linux 9.2 machine image, billed only while your instance runs. Pricing has one dimension: the AWS EC2 instance type you pick. Each listed instance type carries its own hourly software rate. The choices span families for general purpose, compute, memory, storage, and accelerated workloads, in sizes from nano and micro up to metal. Rates scale with the size and capability of the instance you select. AWS infrastructure charges are separate. You can change instance types as your needs shift.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay for the hardened Rocky Linux 9.2 software licence running on that instance type. This charge is separate from the AWS compute, storage, and network fees you pay to AWS. The listed rate covers the pre-configured operating system image only, metered per hour the instance runs.
The software rate meters only while the instance runs. Stopped or paused instances do not accrue the hourly software charge. You may still owe AWS for attached storage during that time, but that fee comes from AWS, not from this listing.
Each instance type has its own hourly software rate. When you switch, billing follows the new instance type's rate from that point. Larger or more capable instances carry higher rates. Only the hours run at each type are billed at that type's rate.
