You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you run this Linux Jenkins slave AMI on. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each dimension maps to one specific EC2 instance type, measured in hours of use. The hourly rate changes with the instance you pick, so larger instances with more CPU, memory, storage, or GPU cost more per hour. You choose the instance size that matches your build workload, then pay only for the hours each node runs. No upfront commitment applies.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hour of billing cover for this Jenkins slave AMI?
Each hour covers one running EC2 node launched from this AMI, matched to the instance type you selected. Billing counts the hours that node runs. If you run several nodes, each one bills separately at its own instance-type rate, and the hours add up across nodes.
Am I charged when a build slave node is stopped or idle?
The hourly software charge meters running time, so a fully stopped node stops accruing software fees. A node left running but idle still bills per hour. Underlying AWS storage or other AWS resource fees may still apply while the node is stopped.
What drives my cost if I run many build nodes at once?
Cost scales with two things: how many nodes run and which instance type each uses. Each node bills independently per hour at its instance-type rate. Running more nodes or picking instances with more CPU, memory, storage, or GPU raises the total hourly spend.

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.

Customers can use this AMI to build and run applications. It is up to the application developers where and how to store any sensitive information and to encrypt data in rest and transit and, for any such requirements, the customers may have to customize this AMI to meet the needs as determined by the working of the applications.
The AMI does not store any passwords or keys and it is up to the customers to rotate the secrets if that would be added as part of the customization. The AMI does not have any encrypted data that is needed to use OpenJDK.
