Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for each running instance, with no upfront commitment. The rate depends only on the EC2 instance type you launch. Hundreds of instance types are covered, spanning general purpose, compute, memory, storage, and GPU or accelerator families in sizes from nano and micro up to metal. Larger instances with more vCPUs and memory carry higher hourly rates, so your cost scales with the compute you select. All types include the same FIPS-certified Ubuntu Pro security and compliance support; you choose the instance, and billing follows your usage.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The rate covers FIPS-certified cryptographic modules plus Ubuntu Pro security maintenance, hardening tools, and vulnerability patching. You get access to a trusted open source repository and compliance profiles for standards like FIPS 140, CIS, and DISA-STIG on the running instance.
The software charge meters running instance-hours. A stopped or paused instance does not accrue the hourly software rate. Underlying AWS resources, such as attached storage, may still incur separate AWS fees while the instance is stopped.
Each running instance is billed separately at the hourly rate for its own type. Running several instances adds their individual hourly charges together. Charges accrue independently per instance, so a mix of small and large types bills each 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.
