Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for each running instance, with no upfront commitment or fixed term. The many dimensions listed are AWS EC2 instance types, not separate plans or feature tiers. Each covers the same Ubuntu Pro software; the rate differs by instance size. Pricing scales with the instance's vCPU count and is metered by the second, so larger instances cost more per hour than smaller ones. This billing is added to your existing AWS invoice. You can apply the same subscription across AMD64 and Graviton (ARM64) architectures by selecting the matching instance type.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The rate scales with the instance's vCPU count and is metered by the second. Larger instances with more vCPUs carry a higher hourly software rate than smaller ones. Each instance type covers the same Ubuntu Pro software; only the size-based rate changes.
The Ubuntu Pro software charge meters running time by the second. A stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue software charges. Underlying AWS storage or other resource fees may still apply separately, but the software rate applies only while the instance runs.
Every instance type covers the same Ubuntu Pro image. This includes security patches for Ubuntu components and hundreds of open source applications, FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria EAL2 certified components, optional CIS hardening and DISA STIG profiles, and Kernel Livepatch for updates without reboot.
