Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for each running instance, with no upfront commitment. Rates are tied to the EC2 instance type you choose, so pricing scales with the size and family of the machine. Compute-focused families (c-series), general-purpose families (m- and t-series), and memory-heavy families (r-, x-, and u-series) each carry their own hourly rate. Larger sizes within a family cost more per hour than smaller ones. The high-memory u-series instances support the largest SAP workloads. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs. This operating system is validated for SAP mission-critical applications.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The rate covers the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications software license and its support, metered per instance-hour. It sits on top of the underlying EC2 compute charge from AWS. You pay one hourly software rate for each running instance, based on its instance type.
The software rate meters running hours only. A fully stopped instance accrues no software charge for that period. When you restart it, hourly billing resumes. Note that separate AWS storage fees for attached volumes may still apply even while the instance is stopped.
Match the instance to your workload's memory and compute needs. Memory-heavy r-, x-, and u-series types suit in-memory SAP HANA databases. The high-memory u-series metal instances handle the largest datasets. This operating system is validated by SAP for mission-critical applications across these families.

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.
