Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a hardened Rocky Linux 9 image running on Amazon EC2. The software price is tied to the EC2 instance type you choose. Each dimension maps to one instance type, spanning general purpose, compute, memory, storage, GPU, and machine learning families. Sizes range from nano and micro up to metal and multi-terabyte instances. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or accelerators carry a higher hourly rate. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs, with no term commitment. Match the instance type to your workload to control cost.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to one running Amazon EC2 instance of that named type. The hourly rate covers the hardened Rocky Linux 9 software licence for that single instance. The rate reflects the instance size, meaning its CPU, memory, storage, and any GPU or accelerator resources.
The software fee meters running instance-hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue software charges. Underlying AWS storage or other AWS resource fees may still apply while the instance is stopped. Restarting the instance resumes the hourly software charge automatically.
Cost changes because each instance type carries its own hourly rate. Moving to a type with more CPU, memory, or accelerators means a higher hourly software rate. You are not locked in, so you can change instance types and pay the new rate for hours run.
