Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened CentOS 9 image, with billing tied to the AWS EC2 instance type you run. Each dimension matches a specific instance size, so there are no plans or tiers to choose between. The software price is identical in structure across all options: it scales with the compute capacity you select. Smaller instances like t2.nano and t3.micro cost less per hour, while larger compute, memory, storage, and GPU instances cost more. You can switch instance types at any time and pay only for hours used.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate covers the hardened CentOS 9 image from Gigabits, including updates, firewall configuration, and network protocols. You pay this software charge on top of standard AWS infrastructure fees for the instance you run. The image launches with one click on AWS.
The software fee meters running instance-hours only. A stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue software charges. You may still pay AWS for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but the Gigabits image bills running time only.
Each dimension maps to one AWS instance type, billed per hour. Switching to a larger instance applies that instance's hourly rate from the moment it runs. The change is manual and takes effect when you launch the new type. You pay only for hours used.
