Dimensions summary
You deploy the Datadog Agent at no software charge, so every dimension here is priced at zero. The many line items map to specific AWS EC2 instance types, from small sizes like t3.nano up to large bare-metal options like x1e.32xlarge. Each instance type is billed per hour of runtime. The Agent itself carries no cost across all instances, so your only spend is the underlying AWS compute you choose to run it on. Pick the instance type that matches your workload; the Agent runs the same way on each.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each line item maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, billed per hour of runtime. One unit is one running instance of that type. The Datadog Agent software adds no charge on any instance, so a unit reflects only the underlying AWS compute you select.
The Agent software carries no charge regardless of instance state, since every dimension is priced at zero. Hourly billing tracks running time for the underlying AWS compute only. A stopped instance stops accruing compute hours, though AWS storage fees may still apply separately.
The Agent itself is free to deploy on any listed instance type. It collects metrics, traces, and logs from your hosts. To view and analyze that data in the Datadog platform, you subscribe to Datadog products such as Infrastructure Monitoring, priced separately per host.
