Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for STIG Compliant Rocky Linux 10, based on the EC2 instance type you run. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, so pricing scales with the compute, memory, storage, or accelerator capacity you choose. Smaller instances like t3.nano cost less per hour, while large or specialized instances like GPU, high-memory, and bare-metal types cost more. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs. Pick the instance type that fits your workload, and the hardened operating system runs the same across all of them.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to one running EC2 instance of the named type, running the STIG-hardened Rocky Linux 10 image. The instance type sets the compute, memory, storage, and any accelerator capacity. You pay the software rate for each hour that instance runs, layered on top of AWS infrastructure charges.
The software rate meters running time only. Fully stopped instances do not accrue software charges. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but that is separate from the per-hour software charge for this listing.
Each running instance bills independently at its own type's hourly rate. Charges add together on the same invoice. Larger, GPU, high-memory, or bare-metal types carry higher hourly rates than small general-purpose types, so your total tracks the mix and count of instances you run.
