Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for Rocky Linux 9 running on your chosen EC2 instance type. Each dimension maps to one specific instance size, and the hourly software rate scales with the instance's compute capacity. Smaller shared-CPU instances like t2 and t3 sit at the low end. General-purpose (m-series), compute-optimized (c-series), memory-optimized (r- and z-series), storage-optimized (d- and i-series), and accelerated GPU and specialized instances (g-, p-, f-, dl-, inf-series) run higher. Pick the instance that fits your workload; billing follows actual hours used, with no upfront commitment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The rate covers the Rocky Linux 9 image published by Gigabits, updated for a minimal install. It applies per running instance hour. This software charge is separate from and adds to the underlying AWS EC2 compute charge for that instance type.
The software fee meters running hours only. A stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. You may still pay AWS for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but that is a separate AWS cost, not this listing's software rate.
Each running instance is billed independently at the hourly rate for its own type. The charges add together on your invoice. There is no combined tier or shared pool. Running a larger instance simply applies that instance's own rate for each hour it runs.
