Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a hardened Windows Server 2025 image running on Amazon EC2. Pricing is not one flat rate. Instead, each EC2 instance type carries its own hourly charge. The many dimensions here map to specific instance families and sizes, such as general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage, and accelerated types. Larger sizes within a family cost more per hour because they provide more compute, memory, or storage. You choose the instance that fits your workload, and billing scales with the number of hours each running instance uses.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get a hardened Windows Server 2025 image deployed on the Amazon EC2 instance type you select. The image ships with current updates applied. Each instance type maps to a specific set of virtual CPU, memory, and storage resources defined by AWS, and you pay the software rate for every hour that instance runs.
The hourly software charge applies only while an instance is running. A stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue the software fee. Underlying AWS storage or other resource fees may still apply while the instance is stopped, but the software meter counts running hours only.
Each instance size within a family carries its own hourly rate. Moving to a larger size raises your hourly charge because it provides more compute, memory, or storage. The change is not automatic. You choose the instance type when you launch, and billing follows that selection for each running hour.
