Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for Minimal Rocky 8 running on your chosen EC2 instance type. The many dimensions map to specific instance sizes, so pricing scales with the compute power you select. Smaller burstable types (the t2, t3, and t3a families) suit lighter workloads. General-purpose families (m3, m4, m5, and their variants like m5a, m5d, m5n, m5dn, m5ad) cover heavier needs, up to bare-metal options. Cost rises as you move from nano and micro sizes toward larger xlarge and metal instances. You run only the instances you launch, billed per hour with software support included.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You are charged for each hour a chosen EC2 instance runs Minimal Rocky 8. The rate matches the specific instance type you launch, such as t3.medium or m5.4xlarge. Larger instances carry more CPU and memory, so their hourly rate is higher. The software support is included at every size.
Software charges accrue only while an instance runs. If you stop or power off the instance, the hourly software charge stops. Underlying AWS storage or other AWS resource fees may still apply separately. To pause charges fully, stop the instances you no longer need.
Yes. You choose the EC2 instance type when you launch, and you can move to a different type later. Each type has its own hourly rate. Your bill reflects the rate of whichever instance is running at the time, charged by the hour.
