Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for support on Anolis OS 8, an enterprise Linux distribution. Billing is usage-based, so charges accrue only while an instance runs. Each dimension maps to a specific Amazon EC2 instance type, measured in hours. The hourly rate scales with the instance you choose. Smaller instances like t2.micro or t3.nano carry lower rates, while large compute, memory, storage, and GPU instances such as p5.48xlarge or u-24tb1.metal carry higher rates. Pick the instance type that matches your workload, and your support cost follows that selection.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay for support and maintenance of the Anolis OS 8 enterprise Linux image running on that Amazon EC2 instance. The rate covers updates, firewalls, and network protocols supplied with the image. It does not include the underlying AWS compute charge, which AWS bills separately.
Charges accrue only while the instance runs, since billing is usage-based and metered in hours. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly support charge. Note that AWS may still charge for attached storage on stopped instances, but that is separate from this listing's support fee.
Your support charge follows the instance type you run. Switching from a smaller instance to a larger compute, memory, storage, or GPU instance moves you to that instance's hourly rate. The change is automatic based on which instance is running. You pay the rate tied to whichever instance type is active.
