Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for Rocky Linux 8 running on your chosen Amazon EC2 instance type. Each dimension maps to one specific EC2 instance, so pricing is not tiered or feature-based. Instead, it scales with the size and family of the instance you select. Smaller instances like t3.nano or t2.micro carry lower hourly rates, while larger compute, memory, storage, GPU, and bare-metal instances carry higher rates. You run only what you need and stop paying when you stop the instance. Choose the instance that fits your workload and hardware requirements.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each unit is one running Amazon EC2 instance of the type named in that dimension. You are billed for every hour a chosen instance runs. Instance size and family set the rate. Running two instances of the same type bills two hourly rates simultaneously.
The hourly software rate applies only while the instance runs. When you stop the instance, the Rocky Linux 8 charge stops. Note that stopped instances may still incur separate AWS storage fees for attached volumes, which are billed by AWS, not this software listing.
The listing bills the hourly software rate per instance type. The vendor describes professional support and customization for its products as available for additional fees, so support is not automatically part of the hourly rate. Contact the vendor to confirm what support applies to this listing.
