AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
You pay nothing for the Rocky Linux 10 software itself. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS aarch64 (Arm-based) EC2 instance type, billed per hour. You choose the instance that fits your workload, from small general-purpose sizes up to bare-metal and large multi-core machines. Pricing scales with the size and family of the instance you run. Instance families cover general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and high-performance computing needs. Since the operating system is free, your hourly charge reflects the underlying compute capacity you select. You can run multiple instances across different types as needed.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hour of billing map to for these dimensions?
Each dimension maps to one running AWS aarch64 (Arm-based) EC2 instance of that type, billed per hour it runs. The software itself is free, so the hourly rate reflects the compute capacity of the chosen instance size and family. Larger instances carry more processing, memory, or storage capacity.
Am I charged for an instance that is stopped or powered off?
The Rocky Linux software carries no charge at all, so no software fee accrues whether the instance runs or stops. Hourly charges here reflect the underlying compute you run. A stopped instance stops accruing compute charges, though AWS storage fees for attached volumes may still apply.
If I run several different instance types, how do the charges combine?
Each running instance bills independently at its own hourly rate for its type. Charges add together on one invoice. Your total reflects the sum of the compute capacity across every instance you run. Since the operating system is free, no per-instance software license fee is added.

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.
