Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the AWS EC2 instance type you run. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size across families like t2, m3, m4, m5, c3, c4, c5, c5d, c5n, and r3. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or network capacity carry higher hourly rates. Pricing scales with the compute power you select, so you match the instance to your streaming load. The software license does not limit connections or viewers; your capacity depends on the instance you choose. AWS bills the underlying infrastructure separately from this hourly charge.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay per running instance-hour for the software license tied to the EC2 instance type you launch. The license sets no fixed limit on connections or concurrent viewers. Your actual capacity depends on the instance's CPU, memory, and network resources plus your server configuration.
The software charge meters running time only, so a stopped instance stops accruing the hourly license fee. Powered-off instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes. To cut costs, you can shut instances down manually or use AWS auto scaling to close idle nodes.
No. This hourly rate covers the Ant Media Server license only. AWS bills compute, storage, and data transfer separately. In a cluster setup, a load balancer and a separate database server are also required and are not included in this charge.

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.
