Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this pre-configured image, which bundles the software license with a Windows server. Pricing has one dimension: the AWS EC2 instance type you choose. Each listed instance charges its own hourly rate. Rates scale with the compute resources behind each type. Smaller instances like nano, micro, and large sizes cost less per hour. Larger sizes such as 24xlarge, 48xlarge, and bare-metal options cost more. Instance families (general purpose, compute, memory, storage, and accelerated) target different workloads. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs, and you can switch types anytime.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate bundles the software license and Windows server with the compute resources of the EC2 instance you pick. One "unit" is one running instance for one hour. You pay for each instance-hour it runs, no matter how you use the database inside it.
The software license meters running hours only. A fully stopped instance stops accruing this hourly charge. You may still pay separate AWS storage fees for the attached disk while stopped, but those come from AWS, not from this listing's software rate.
You can switch instance types anytime. Your rate changes to that type's hourly price starting when the new instance runs. Larger sizes carry more compute and a higher hourly rate. You are not locked in, so you can move up or down as workloads change.
