Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for Rocky Linux 9.2 with maintenance support, running as an Amazon Machine Image on AWS. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, and you pick the one that fits your workload. Rates scale with the instance you choose. Smaller general-purpose types like t3.micro cost less per hour than large compute, memory, storage, or GPU-focused types such as x2iezn.6xlarge or g5.48xlarge. You only pay for the hours each instance runs, so cost tracks your actual usage.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate covers the Rocky Linux 9.2 software license plus maintenance support delivered through the Amazon Machine Image. This software charge is separate from the underlying AWS EC2 compute cost. You pick the instance type that matches your workload and pay per hour it runs.
The software charge meters running time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software fee. Underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volume may still apply while the instance is stopped, but those are separate from this listing's software charge.
Yes. Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type, so moving to a different type simply changes which hourly rate applies going forward. Larger compute, memory, storage, or GPU types carry higher hourly rates than smaller general-purpose types. You are billed at the rate of whichever instance runs.
