SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) Micro is a lightweight and secure OS platform purpose-built for containerized workloads. It is well suited for any decentralized computing environment such as edge, embedded or IoT deployment without vendor lock-in. (EMEA Orders Only)
SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro leverages the enterprise-hardened technology components of SUSE Linux Enterprise and merges that with what developers want from a modern, secure, immutable OS platform. As a result, you get an ultra-reliable infrastructure platform that is also simple to use and comes out-of-the-box with best-in-class compliance.
Highlights
Immutable OS. Immutable design ensures the OS is not altered during runtime and runs reliably every single time. Security signed and verified transactional updates are easy to rollback if things go wrong.
Perfect for Containers and Kubernetes. You can easily combine SLE Micro with the latest cloud-native technologies including Rancher, RKE, Longhorn persistent block storage, and K3S, the world's most popular Kubernetes distribution for use in low resource, distributed edge locations.
Low maintenance. SLE Micro with its small footprint and modular architecture makes it easy to customize, build images, configure, deploy, update, and automate. So, all routine maintenance functions like patches, updates, config changes are seamless.
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 each running instance, with no upfront commitment. Pricing attaches to the AWS EC2 instance size you choose, so the rate scales with the compute, memory, or storage profile of that instance. All options cover the Arm-based (arm64) processor family. Rates vary across the compute-optimized (c-series), general-purpose (m- and a-series), memory-optimized (r- and x-series), storage-optimized (i- and is-series), graphics (g-series), and high-performance computing (hpc-series) families. Within each family, larger sizes carry higher hourly rates, from nano and medium up to 48xlarge and bare-metal variants. Billing stops when the instance stops.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I actually receive for the hourly rate on each instance?
You receive the SUSE Linux Micro 5.4 operating system license, billed per hour per running instance. It runs on Arm-based (arm64) processors. The host supports standalone container deployment and Kubernetes cluster use, with transactional updates, full disk encryption, and SELinux. The underlying AWS EC2 compute is billed separately by AWS.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused?
The software charge meters running time only. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software fee. Restarting the instance resumes the hourly charge. Note that AWS may still bill for attached storage while the instance is stopped, separate from this software license.
How does the hourly rate change as I pick different instance sizes or families?
The rate attaches to the chosen EC2 instance size. Within one family, larger sizes carry higher hourly rates, from medium and nano up to 48xlarge and bare-metal variants. Rates also differ across compute-, memory-, storage-optimized, general-purpose, graphics, and high-performance families. You pay the rate tied to the single instance you launch.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Use the image to start an instance of your choice in Amazon EC2. Once the instance is running connect to it using a Secure Shell (SSH) client as 'suse' and the configured SSH key. The instance is connected to the SUSE update infrastructure to receive updates. Use the transactional-update command to update the system or install additional packages.
AWS Support is a one-on-one, fast-response support channel that is staffed 24x7x365 with experienced and technical support engineers. The service helps customers of all sizes and technical abilities to successfully utilize the products and features provided by Amazon Web Services.
