Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this Ubuntu 24 desktop with remote streaming software, billed per running instance. The many options are all EC2 instance types, not separate feature tiers. Each represents a different mix of CPU, memory, and storage, from small general-purpose sizes to large compute-, memory-, and storage-optimized machines. Your hourly rate scales with the instance size and family you pick. Software cost is the same capability across every instance; you choose the hardware that fits your workload. Larger instances cost more per hour because they provide more compute resources.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay one hourly rate for the running EC2 instance. That covers the Ubuntu 24 desktop and the remote streaming software. Each instance name maps to a fixed set of CPU, memory, and storage. You pick the hardware size; the software capability stays the same across all of them.
The software charge meters running hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue hourly software fees. Stopped instances may still incur separate AWS storage charges for attached volumes. To stop all software billing, you stop or terminate the instance.
Your total hourly rate scales with the instance family and size you select. Larger instances provide more compute, memory, or storage and cost more per hour. The remote desktop software delivers the same features on every instance, so hardware choice drives your bill, not feature tiers.

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.
