Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
You pay by the hour for a hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 image running on ARM-based (Graviton) instances. The software price is tied to the specific EC2 instance type you launch. Each dimension maps to one instance size within families like general purpose, compute, memory, storage, and high-performance computing. Larger sizes carry more vCPUs and memory, so the hourly rate rises with instance capacity. You choose the family and size that fits your workload. Billing is usage-based, so you pay only for the hours each instance runs, plus standard AWS infrastructure charges.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover, and what am I actually paying for on each instance?
Each unit is one running instance of the hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 ARM image for one hour. The rate is set by the EC2 instance type you launch. The image applies STIG and NIST hardening frameworks as a baseline security configuration on that instance.
Am I charged the software fee when an instance is stopped or paused?
The software fee meters only running hours. A stopped or paused instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. You may still pay standard AWS charges for attached storage while the instance is stopped. Charges resume when the instance runs again.
How does the software cost change when I move to a larger instance size?
The hourly software rate is tied to the specific instance type you launch. Larger sizes carry more vCPUs and memory, so their hourly rate is higher. You are not locked in — launch a different size when your workload changes, and the new rate applies to the hours it runs.

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.

Regarding Security Configurations
Utilizing hardened images necessitates a nuanced approach due to their advanced security configurations and access controls, which may require additional adjustments for compatibility with specific workflows or applications. These images are designed with enhanced security measures to minimize vulnerabilities, offering superior protection compared to baseline images without pre-configured security settings. However, integrating them seamlessly into your operations might involve collaboration with security experts or providers for customization, ensuring both robust security and operational functionality. This extra step, while requiring more initial setup, positions hardened images as a more secure and compliant foundation for deployments, ultimately offering a significant advantage over baseline images by saving time and resources in achieving a secure, compliant, and efficient infrastructure.
