Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you run this hardened runtime on. The twelve options are all instance sizes, not feature tiers. You choose based on the compute profile you need. The t3 and t3a families cover general-purpose sizes from micro to large. The m5, m6i, and m7i large options give steady general-purpose capacity across processor generations. The c6i.large targets compute-focused work. Each rate covers the software layer only. You pay AWS separately for the underlying EC2, storage, and data transfer.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate covers the hardened runtime software layer only. You pay AWS separately for the underlying EC2 instance, EBS storage, NAT Gateway, public IPv4, and data transfer. These infrastructure charges appear on your AWS bill in addition to the software fee.
The software fee meters per running instance-hour. A fully stopped instance stops accruing software charges. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached EBS volumes, but the software layer bills only while the instance runs.
Each dimension is one EC2 instance type. Changing size means launching or resizing the EC2 instance to another supported type. Your hourly software rate then follows the new instance type. There is no separate feature upgrade; all sizes run the same runtime.

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.
