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.

This Rocky Linux 10 Latest image has charges associated with it for security hardening and optimization provided by ProComputers. At launch, the image automatically applies the newest security patches, so you are always running the most secure version available instead of a snapshot that ages after publication. It tracks the current minor release of Rocky Linux 10, the community enterprise distribution from the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation, and stays binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. On AWS EC2, the image works with cloud-init for hands-off provisioning, uses ENA networking for fast throughput, and keeps SELinux in enforcing mode with SSH key-only access. Packaged and maintained by ProComputers, Rocky 10 gives teams a lean, current, and dependable foundation for production servers without extra patching work after deployment.
This Rocky Linux 10 LVM image has charges associated with it for security hardening and optimization provided by ProComputers. The root disk is organized with LVM (Logical Volume Manager), so volumes can be resized and expanded while the system keeps running, giving developers and administrators more control over storage in AWS. When an EBS volume grows, you can extend logical volumes online, rebalance capacity between file systems, or add new disks to a volume group without rebuilding the instance. The base system is Rocky Linux 10 from the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation, binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, with cloud-init, ENA networking, SELinux enforcing, and SSH key-only access configured for EC2. Built and maintained by ProComputers, this Rocky 10 image suits workloads whose storage needs change over time.
This Rocky Linux 10.2 image has charges associated with it for security hardening and optimization provided by ProComputers. Version 10.2 is the latest stable minor release of the Rocky Linux 10 platform, so you start with the newest kernel, toolchains, and security fixes published by the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation. Updates keep arriving through standard dnf commands, and when the next minor version ships, running systems move forward in place instead of needing a reinstall. On AWS EC2, this Rocky 10.2 image boots quickly, applies settings through cloud-init, and uses ENA networking on current instance types. SELinux runs in enforcing mode and SSH access is limited to key pairs. ProComputers packages and refreshes the Rocky Linux 10.2 AMI so teams can deploy a supported, RHEL 10 compatible server in minutes.
This Rocky Linux 8.10 image has charges associated with it for security hardening and optimization provided by ProComputers. Rocky Linux 8.10 is the latest and final minor release of the 8 series, the most refined form of the platform before the move to Rocky Linux 9. It gathers years of fixes, driver updates, and security improvements into one mature base for Amazon EC2. Rocky 8.10 keeps binary compatibility with RHEL 8, runs SELinux in enforcing mode, and ships with cloud-init and ENA drivers ready at first boot. Updates arrive through the official Rocky repositories, so patching stays simple for the rest of the 8 branch lifecycle. It suits teams that want to keep proven RHEL 8 workloads such as web stacks, databases, and build pipelines on a settled platform instead of migrating before they are ready. ProComputers builds, tests, and refreshes the image so it launches cleanly and stays dependable in production.
