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.
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 support on the Ubuntu 26 (ARM) image, billed per running EC2 instance. Pricing has no fixed tiers. Instead, the hourly rate is tied to the specific ARM-based instance type you choose. Options span many instance families, including general purpose (m-series, t4g, a1), compute optimized (c-series), memory optimized (r-series, x2gd), storage optimized (i4g, im4gn, is4gen), GPU (g5g), and HPC (hpc7g). Within each family, rates scale with instance size, from small (medium, large) up to bare metal. You select the instance that fits your workload and pay only for hours used.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly charge cover, and what am I actually paying for?
You pay for vendor support on the Ubuntu 26 (ARM) image running on your chosen EC2 instance. The rate is metered per instance-hour. This software support charge is separate from the underlying AWS compute and storage fees, which AWS bills you directly.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or paused?
The hourly rate meters running time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the software support charge. You may still pay AWS for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but that is an AWS fee, not this listing's charge.
Why does the hourly rate differ across instance types, and how do I pick one?
Each rate is tied to a specific ARM-based instance type. Larger sizes within a family carry higher hourly rates. Compute, memory, storage, GPU, and HPC families serve different workloads. You choose the instance matching your needs, and the rate follows that selection.

What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is its stability, reliability, and ease of use. It provides a solid environment for development, server management, and everyday technical work. The large software ecosystem, strong community support, and extensive documentation make it easy to install tools, troubleshoot issues, and maintain systems over time. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS works well with a wide range of tools in my stack, especially development environments, programming languages, databases, Git, containers, and cloud platforms. Most integrations are straightforward because of the large package ecosystem and strong community support. It also works well with command-line and automation tools, which makes it easy to build consistent development and deployment workflows. Occasionally, newer tools require updated dependencies or additional configuration, but overall compatibility is strong.
What do you dislike about the product?
One drawback is that some software packages and dependencies can feel outdated compared with newer Ubuntu releases. Upgrading or configuring certain applications may require additional troubleshooting, and hardware compatibility can occasionally be an issue with newer devices. The interface is generally easy to use, but some settings and system configurations could be more intuitive for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS provides a stable and reliable environment for development, server management, and everyday technical workloads. Its broad compatibility with development tools, libraries, cloud platforms, and hardware makes it easier to set up and maintain different environments. The long-term support reduces the need for frequent upgrades, while the large community and documentation make troubleshooting and onboarding easier. Since Ubuntu is open source and free to use, it also provides strong value by reducing licensing costs while maintaining good performance and reliability.

Solid for Headless Backend, but Ubuntu 20 Feels Outdated on Security and Optimization
Reviewed on May 09, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I have used Ubuntu 20 for a long time on my enterprise software platforms. I works perfectly and it is well fitted for backend services. We mainly use it on headless servers, no UI needed. It works great, and it's free. We migrated to newer Ubuntu versions but still Ubuntu 20 is a power horse.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has been superseded by newer versions of Ubuntu so I'd say it is a bit outdated in terms of security or memory optimization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used for backend services served via Apache2 HTTP services. It solves the problem of having a reliable infrastructure at a very low cost.
