Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a hardened, HIPAA-compliant CentOS 9 image running on the EC2 instance type you choose. Pricing has no upfront commitment; you are billed only for the hours each instance runs. The many dimensions map directly to AWS instance types, so cost scales with the instance size and family you pick. Smaller general-purpose instances like t2.nano cost less per hour, while large compute, memory, storage, and GPU instances such as g6e, p6-b200, and u7in metal sizes cost more. The software adds a per-hour charge on top of standard AWS infrastructure rates.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One hour equals one running EC2 instance for one clock hour. Each instance you launch meters its own hours separately. The rate combines the software charge for the hardened CentOS 9 image with the underlying AWS infrastructure charge for the instance type you pick.
The per-hour software charge applies only while an instance runs. Stopped instances do not accrue software fees. You may still pay standard AWS storage costs for attached volumes on a stopped instance, but the CentOS 9 license meters running time only.
Every instance size runs the same hardened, HIPAA-compliant CentOS 9 build. The vendor applies industry hardening frameworks such as STIG and NIST as a baseline. This configuration does not change with the instance type you choose; only the compute size and hourly rate differ.

This CentOS 9 image has charges associated with it for security hardening and optimization provided by ProComputers. CentOS Stream 9 is the continuously delivered distribution that sits just upstream of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, so each update gives your team an early look at changes planned for upcoming RHEL 9 minor releases. The AMI is prepared for Amazon EC2 with cloud-init for first-boot configuration, ENA drivers for fast networking, SELinux in enforcing mode, and SSH key-only access for the ec2-user account. Packages come from the official repositories, so routine updates follow the familiar dnf workflow your administrators already use. Run CentOS 9 on AWS for web services, CI runners, build hosts, and test environments that must stay compatible with RHEL-based production systems. ProComputers builds, tests, and refreshes the image so you can launch a consistent baseline in any supported region.
This CentOS 9 Latest image has charges associated with it for security hardening and optimization provided by ProComputers. CentOS Stream 9 is developed in the open just ahead of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, so it previews the fixes and features headed for upcoming RHEL 9 minor releases. This image is automatically updated at launch with the latest security patches, so every new instance starts on the most secure package set available rather than on an older snapshot. Cloud-init handles first-boot configuration, ENA drivers provide fast networking, SELinux runs in enforcing mode, and SSH access uses key pairs for the ec2-user account. Choose CentOS 9 Latest for CI runners, staging servers, and short-lived build hosts where starting fully patched matters. ProComputers builds, tests, and maintains the image for consistent launches across AWS regions.
This CentOS 9 LVM image has charges associated with it for security hardening and optimization provided by ProComputers. CentOS Stream 9 is the openly developed distribution that feeds Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, giving teams an early look at changes planned for upcoming RHEL 9 minor releases. This image uses LVM (Logical Volume Manager), so you can resize and extend volumes while the system keeps running, giving developers and administrators more control over storage in AWS. After enlarging an EBS volume, you can grow logical volumes and filesystems online, rebalance capacity, and manage storage layers without rebuilding the instance. Cloud-init, ENA networking, enforcing SELinux, and key-only SSH for ec2-user come preconfigured. CentOS 9 LVM is a strong fit for databases, file-heavy applications, and any workload whose data keeps growing.
