Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for each running instance of this CIS-benchmarked Rocky Linux 8 image. Pricing is not a set of tiers or plans. Instead, each dimension matches a specific AWS EC2 instance type, from small general-purpose sizes to large compute, memory, storage, and GPU-focused machines. The hourly rate tracks the instance type you choose, so larger or more specialized instances carry different rates. You can run many instances at once, and your total cost reflects the type and running hours of each one. Billing stops when you stop the instance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate covers the OpenLogic software license for the CIS-benchmarked Rocky Linux 8 image on the EC2 instance type you choose. The underlying AWS EC2 compute, storage, and data transfer are billed separately by AWS. You pay both charges together on your AWS bill.
Software charges accrue only while an instance runs. Stopping an instance halts the hourly software charge, though AWS may still bill for attached storage. Running many instances at once bills each one independently. Your total adds up each instance's rate multiplied by its running hours.
Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type. The hourly rate tracks the type you select, so general-purpose, compute, memory, storage, and GPU-focused instances carry different rates. Larger or more specialized machines bill at a different rate than smaller ones. You pick the type that fits your workload.

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.
