Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for CentOS 9 running on the AWS EC2 instance type you choose. Each dimension maps to one specific instance size, so pricing scales with the compute you select. Options span general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-heavy, GPU, and high-performance families, plus bare-metal variants. Larger sizes within a family carry more CPU, memory, or accelerators and bill at correspondingly higher hourly rates. You are charged only for the hours each instance runs, with no upfront commitment. Pick the instance that fits your workload, and start or stop it as needed.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you select, with CentOS 9 installed and supported by the vendor. The hourly rate covers the software on that instance size. You choose the family and size, and billing tracks each hour that instance runs.
The hourly software charge applies only while an instance runs. Stopping an instance halts the software charge. Underlying AWS fees for attached storage may still apply while an instance is stopped, but the CentOS 9 software meter counts running hours only.
Each instance type is billed independently at its own hourly rate. Moving to a larger size within a family means more CPU, memory, or accelerators and a higher hourly rate. You are not billed for both sizes at once; charges follow whichever instance is running.
