Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you run. The ten options map to standard EC2 instance types in the t3 and t3a families. Within each family, sizes range from nano up to large, so hourly cost scales with the compute and memory each instance provides. The t3 and t3a families offer comparable size steps, giving you a choice of processor type at each size. You choose the instance that fits your workload, and billing accrues only for the hours each instance runs. There is no upfront commitment with this usage-based model.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get a running EC2 virtual machine of the chosen t3 or t3a size, with the Inception software that runs Nanos unikernels on standard instances. This avoids nested virtualization or metal instances. Each instance size sets the CPU and memory you receive per hour.
The hourly software charge accrues only while an instance runs. The software supports instant pause and resume of instances. When an instance is fully stopped, software hours stop accruing. Underlying AWS storage or other AWS resource fees may still apply separately while the instance is stopped.
Both families offer the same size steps from nano up to large, so memory and compute scale the same way. The difference is the processor type backing each family. You pick the family that fits your workload, and billing accrues per hour for whichever instance runs.

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.
