Dimensions summary
The software itself is free. You pay only by the hour for the arm64 EC2 instance you run it on. Each dimension maps to one Arm-based instance type, so pricing scales with the compute, memory, and storage you choose. Options span general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-dense, and graphics families. Sizes range from small shared instances up to bare-metal and 48xlarge configurations. Larger instances carry higher hourly rates. You select the instance type that fits your workload, and billing follows standard EC2 hourly usage with no license fee added.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to one Arm-based EC2 instance type. You are billed per hour the instance runs. The software carries no license fee, so your hourly charge reflects only the AWS compute, memory, and storage of the instance size you select.
The software itself is free, so no license fee accrues. Hourly billing follows standard EC2 usage, which meters running time. A stopped instance stops accruing compute charges, though attached AWS storage may still incur separate fees.
Your cost comes entirely from the EC2 instance you pick, not the software. Larger instances with more vCPUs, memory, or local storage carry higher hourly rates. Compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-dense, graphics, and bare-metal families each price differently based on their hardware.

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.
