Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you run this hardened database host on. The 12 dimensions map to specific instance sizes, not feature tiers. Each option delivers the same hardened base layer for Cloud Forge database and stateful application templates. The t3 and t3a dimensions cover burstable sizes from micro to large. The m5, m6i, and m7i options are general-purpose large instances, while c6i.large is compute-optimized. Pick the instance that fits your workload. AWS infrastructure charges like EC2, EBS, and data transfer are billed separately.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate covers only the software license for the hardened database host. You pay AWS separately for EC2 compute, EBS storage, data transfer, and other infrastructure. These charges appear on your AWS bill and are not refunded by the vendor.
The software charge meters running instance-hours, so a fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software fee. Underlying AWS storage charges, such as EBS for the attached volume, may still apply while the instance is stopped. Those AWS fees bill independently.
You choose the EC2 instance type when you launch the AMI. That selection sets which of the 12 hourly dimensions applies. Running a larger instance like m7i.large bills at its own rate, while a t3.micro bills at the micro rate. Switching instance types changes the dimension charged.

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.
