Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a hardened, HIPAA-compliant Amazon Linux 2 image. Pricing follows the EC2 instance type you choose, so each listed dimension maps to one instance size. Smaller instances like t2.nano and t3.micro carry lower hourly software rates. Larger compute, memory, GPU, and storage-optimized instances like x1e.32xlarge, p4d.24xlarge, and u-24tb1.metal carry higher hourly rates. You are billed for each hour an instance runs, with no upfront commitment. Scale up or down by switching instance types. AWS infrastructure charges apply separately from this software fee.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The software fee meters running hours only. A stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volumes may still apply while the instance is stopped. Charges resume when you start the instance again.
One unit is one hour that a chosen EC2 instance type runs this image. You get a hardened, HIPAA-compliant Amazon Linux 2 build configured with industry hardening frameworks. Each instance type maps to a set of CPU, memory, GPU, or storage resources, and you pay per running hour.
Two charges apply on the same invoice. The software fee meters each running hour of the instance type you pick. AWS separately bills the underlying infrastructure, such as compute, storage, and data transfer. Both scale with the instance size and hours used, but they are metered independently.
