Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you run this hardened RHEL 8.10 image on. The many dimensions are not tiers or add-ons. Each one maps to a specific instance size within a family, such as general purpose (m-series), compute optimized (c-series), memory optimized (r- and x-series), storage optimized (i- and d-series), and accelerated computing (g-, p-, and inf-series). Larger instances within a family carry higher hourly rates. You select the instance that fits your workload, and software charges accrue only while it runs, alongside standard AWS infrastructure costs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate covers the hardened RHEL 8.10 image and its included security agent on the instance type you launch. Standard AWS infrastructure costs, such as compute, storage, and data transfer, bill separately from AWS. You pay both on the same account.
Software charges accrue only while the instance runs. A stopped instance does not incur the hourly software fee. You may still pay AWS for attached storage on a stopped instance, but the software meter tracks running hours only.
Each instance size maps to its own hourly rate. Larger sizes within a family carry higher rates. Switching is not an automatic upgrade; you launch the instance size you want. Charges then follow the rate for whichever instance is actually running.

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.
