AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
You pay by the hour for a hardened Oracle Linux 9 image on ARM-based EC2 instances. Pricing is set per instance type, so your rate depends on the size and family you choose. Options span general-purpose (m-, a-, t4g), compute-optimized (c-), memory-optimized (r-, x2gd), storage-focused (i4g, im4gn, is4gen), and GPU (g5g) families. Within each family, larger sizes cost more per hour because they provide more compute, memory, or storage. Bare-metal (metal) variants are also available. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs, with no upfront commitment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Am I charged for instances that are stopped or powered off?
Software charges accrue per hour only while an instance runs. Stopped or powered-off instances do not accrue hourly software fees. You may still pay underlying AWS storage costs for attached volumes, but the hardened image meters running time only.
What determines the hourly rate for each instance type?
Your rate follows the instance type you launch. Larger sizes within a family cost more per hour because they provide more compute, memory, or storage. Bare-metal (metal) variants run on a dedicated physical server. You pay one hourly rate per running instance.
What do I get with this hourly charge beyond the operating system?
You get an Oracle Linux 9 image hardened using industry standard frameworks such as STIG and NIST, configured for HIPAA compliance. The vendor provides on-demand support by email, phone, and chat. Security controls are pre-applied as a baseline on each running instance.
