Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you run this hardened Rocky Linux 9 image on. Every listed dimension maps to one AWS instance size, so pricing scales with the compute you choose. Options cover general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and GPU or accelerator families, in sizes from small through 4xlarge. Larger instances within a family carry a higher hourly rate. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs, with no upfront commitment. Standard AWS infrastructure charges apply separately from the software rate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly rate covers running one EC2 instance of the chosen type with the hardened Rocky Linux 9 image. You pay per hour the instance runs. Standard AWS infrastructure charges, such as compute, storage, and data transfer, are billed separately by AWS and apply on top of the software rate.
The software rate meters running instance-hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. You may still pay AWS for attached storage while the instance is stopped. Charges resume when you start the instance again.
Each dimension maps to a distinct EC2 instance type with different compute, memory, storage, or accelerator resources. General-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and GPU or accelerator families each carry their own hourly rate. Larger sizes within a family cost more per hour. You choose the type that fits your workload.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.
Version release notes
- Updated Rocky Linux to version 9.7.
- Resolved a security issue (CVE-2025-6965) by updating the SQLite library to version 3.50.2.

Usage instructions
After starting an instance from the AMI, the OS can be accessed through SSH using the username 'rocky' and key created during instance creation. The user has root privileges through sudo.
By default, the firewall is enabled on this AMI, and all ports are blocked except for SSH (port 22). If you need to allow additional services, such as HTTP (port 80), you can open the port using the firewall-cmd command:
By service
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=drop --add-service=http sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Or by port
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=drop --add-port=80/tcp sudo firewall-cmd --reload
