Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance you choose to run this preconfigured Canvas LMS image. Pricing is usage-based, so you are billed only for the hours each instance runs. The dimensions are not tiers or feature levels. Instead, each one maps to a specific EC2 instance type and size, grouped into families like general purpose (m, t), compute-optimized (c), memory-optimized (r, x, z), GPU/accelerated (g, p, f), storage-optimized (d, h, i). Larger sizes within a family provide more CPU, memory, or storage. You scale cost by selecting a size that fits your workload.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you select, billed per hour. The image comes preconfigured with Canvas LMS, a relational database, and an in-memory cache. Application data persists in storage volumes. You pick the instance size that matches your CPU, memory, or storage needs.
The hourly software charge meters running time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the per-hour software fee. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage charges for the persistent volumes holding your Canvas database, cache, and uploaded files. You pay only for the hours the instance actually runs.
Yes. Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type, so changing size means launching or resizing to a different type. Back up your data volumes and configuration files first, since Canvas stores its database, cache, and assets in persistent storage. Billing then follows the new instance type's hourly rate.
