SUSE Linux (SL) Micro is a lightweight and secure OS platform purpose-built for containerized workloads. It is well suited for any decentralized computing environment such as edge, embedded or IoT deployment without vendor lock-in. (EMEA Orders Only)
Overview
SUSE Linux Micro leverages the enterprise-hardened technology components of SUSE Linux Enterprise and merges that with what developers want from a modern, secure, immutable OS platform. As a result, you get an ultra-reliable infrastructure platform that is also simple to use and comes out-of-the-box with best-in-class compliance.
Highlights
- Immutable OS. Immutable design ensures the OS is not altered during runtime and runs reliably every single time. Security signed and verified transactional updates are easy to rollback if things go wrong.
- Perfect for Containers and Kubernetes. You can easily combine SL Micro with the latest cloud-native technologies including Rancher, RKE, Longhorn persistent block storage, and K3S, the world's most popular Kubernetes distribution for use in low resource, distributed edge locations.
- Low maintenance. SL Micro with its small footprint and modular architecture makes it easy to customize, build images, configure, deploy, update, and automate. So, all routine maintenance functions like patches, updates, config changes are seamless.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro running on an EC2 instance. This listing serves EMEA orders on x86_64 hardware. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type, from small shared instances to large bare-metal and memory-heavy machines. The hourly software rate is set per instance type, so larger instances carry a different rate than smaller ones. You choose the instance size that fits your workload, and billing follows the hours that instance runs. No upfront commitment applies.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly rate maps to one EC2 instance type you launch SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro on. The rate reflects that instance's size, from small shared types to large bare-metal and memory-heavy machines. You pick the type matching your workload. Billing counts the hours that single instance runs.
The software rate meters running hours only. A fully stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Underlying AWS storage or other resources may still bill separately. When you restart the instance, hourly software metering resumes for the time it runs.
Billing follows usage with no upfront commitment. You pay the per-hour software rate for each instance type only while that instance runs. There is no fixed term or minimum quantity. This suits variable or short-lived edge and container workloads where runtime changes across the month.

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.

Usage instructions
Use the image to start an instance of your choice in Amazon EC2. Once the instance is running connect to it using a Secure Shell (SSH) client as 'ec2-user' and the configured SSH key. The instance is connected to the SUSE update infrastructure to receive updates. Use the transactional-update command to update the system or install additional packages.
