Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the vendor's Ubuntu 20.04 LTS image running on your chosen AWS EC2 instance type. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each dimension maps to one EC2 instance size, and your rate depends on which size you launch. Options span general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage, GPU, and high-memory instance families. Smaller instances like t3.nano bill at lower hourly rates; larger instances such as metal and multi-xlarge sizes bill higher. You select the instance that fits your workload, and charges accrue only while it runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate covers the vendor's Ubuntu 20.04 LTS image running on your chosen EC2 instance. AWS charges for the underlying compute separately. Your invoice reflects both: the software license metered per running hour and the EC2 resource cost tied to the instance size you launch.
The software rate meters only while the instance runs. Stopped or paused instances do not accrue software charges. You may still owe AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but the per-hour software license bills running time only.
Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance size, and the rate depends on which size you launch. Smaller sizes like t3.nano bill at lower hourly rates. Larger sizes such as metal and multi-xlarge instances bill higher. You are not locked into a tier; switching instances changes your rate directly.
