Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for each running instance, with no upfront commitment. Pricing scales entirely by the EC2 instance type you choose. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size and family, from small general-purpose types like t3.nano to large memory-, compute-, storage-, and GPU-optimized types like u7in-32tb.224xlarge and p5.48xlarge. Larger or more specialized instances carry higher hourly rates. This software fee applies on top of standard AWS infrastructure charges. Every dimension delivers the same FIPS-certified Ubuntu Pro 20.04 LTS with updates; the only variable is the underlying hardware you select and how many hours you run it.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each unit is one running EC2 instance of the selected type, billed per hour. A virtual machine counts as one instance. Ubuntu Pro subscriptions cover the server, so a hypervisor host can run multiple VMs under one per-server charge in some setups. Check your instance configuration to confirm counting.
The software fee meters running instance-hours only. A stopped or paused instance does not accrue the hourly Ubuntu Pro FIPS charge. You may still owe standard AWS charges, such as storage for attached volumes, while the instance is stopped. Charges resume when you start the instance again.
Your bill combines two parts. The Ubuntu Pro FIPS software fee applies per instance-hour based on the instance type you pick. Separately, AWS charges for the underlying compute, storage, and network. Both appear together. The instance type you choose and hours run drive both amounts.
