AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for a hardened Rocky Linux 10 machine image. Pricing follows the EC2 instance type you choose to run it on. Each dimension maps to one AWS instance type, from small shared instances like t3.nano up to large memory, compute, storage, GPU, and bare-metal options. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or accelerators carry higher hourly rates. There are no tiers or commitments. You only pay for the hours each instance runs, and you can pick the size that fits each workload.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one billed unit represent in this listing?
Each dimension bills one running EC2 instance of the hardened Rocky Linux 10 image, charged per hour. One unit equals one instance of the size you launch, such as t3.nano or a bare-metal instance. Each running instance meters separately, so multiple instances add hours independently.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused?
The hourly software charge meters running time only. A stopped instance does not accrue software hours. Underlying AWS storage and other resource fees may still apply while the instance is stopped, but the Rocky Linux 10 image charge stops accruing when the instance is not running.
What drives my hourly cost when I choose different instance types?
Cost tracks the EC2 instance type you select for the image. Instances with more CPU, memory, storage, or accelerators carry higher hourly rates. There are no tiers or commitments, so switching to a different size simply changes the per-hour rate for the hours that instance runs.
