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.
You pay by the hour for each running instance, with no upfront commitment. Every dimension maps to a specific ARM-based Amazon EC2 instance type running Docker on a hardened Amazon Linux 2 image. Pricing scales with instance size and family. You choose a family for your workload: general-purpose (a1, t4g, m6g, m6gd), compute-focused (c6g, c6gd, c6gn), memory-focused (r6g, r6gd, x2gd), storage-focused (im4gn, is4gen), or graphics (g5g). Within each family, hourly rates rise as the size grows, from nano and medium up to 16xlarge and bare-metal options.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover for these instance types?
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the selected ARM-based type, billed per hour. It includes the hardened Amazon Linux 2 image with Docker installed. Each running instance meters separately. Instance size and family set the hourly rate, so a larger size in the same family costs more per hour.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused?
Software charges apply only while an instance runs. A stopped or paused instance stops accruing the per-hour software fee. Underlying AWS storage and other resource fees may still apply while the instance is stopped. The software meter tracks running time only.
What makes this image different from a standard Amazon Linux 2 image?
The image is hardened, meaning it is configured to reduce system vulnerabilities against threats like unauthorized data access and denial of service. It follows recognized secure configuration standards developed by cybersecurity experts. Docker comes pre-installed. This applies across every instance type; only the hardware and hourly rate change.

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.
