Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you choose to run this Memcached image. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size across several families: general-purpose (t2, t3, m3, m4, m5), compute-optimized (c3, c4, c5), and memory-optimized (r3, r4, r5). Rates rise as instances offer more compute and memory, from t3.nano through t2.2xlarge. You select the instance that fits your workload and are billed only for the hours it runs. Every option delivers the same Memcached software with maintenance support.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly rate covers one running EC2 instance of the size you select. A single virtual machine equals one billable unit. If you run several instances, each one meters and bills separately, even when they share underlying hardware.
The software charge meters only running instance-hours. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software fee. AWS may still charge for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but the Memcached software licence bills running time only.
You can move to a instance type with more compute and memory, which changes your hourly rate. You can also scale horizontally by running multiple cache nodes. Each additional node bills at its own selected instance rate.

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.
