Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this ADFS Server on Windows Server 2022. Pricing is not tiered by feature. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, so your rate depends on the hardware you choose. Options span small burstable instances like t2.nano and t3.micro up to large compute, memory, storage, and GPU instances such as c5n.18xlarge, x1e.32xlarge, and p3dn.24xlarge. Larger instances carry more CPU, memory, and network capacity, so their hourly rate is higher. Pick the instance size that fits your workload and hourly billing follows that choice.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly rate covers the ADFS Server software preconfigured on Windows Server 2022, running on the AWS EC2 instance type named in that dimension. You choose the instance size, and the hourly charge reflects the compute, memory, and network capacity of that hardware. The image deploys a Microsoft ADFS 2022 federation server ready for setup.
Hourly software charges apply only while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software fee. Underlying AWS storage costs for the attached volume may still apply while the instance is stopped, but the software licence meters running time only.
No automatic change occurs. You select the EC2 instance type at deployment. To move to a different size, you stop the instance and change its type, then restart. Your hourly rate then matches the new instance dimension. Each dimension bills independently at its own rate.

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.
