Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for Microsoft Windows Server 2022 with Premium Support, running on the EC2 instance type you choose. Each dimension matches one AWS instance size, from small general-purpose types to large compute, memory, storage, and accelerated options. The software rate scales with the instance you select, since larger instances carry more CPU, memory, and resources. You add the AWS infrastructure cost separately.
