If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details.

See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for the software, billed per running instance. The many dimensions listed are AWS EC2 instance types, not separate product editions. Each represents a different hardware size and family, ranging from small shared instances to large multi-core, GPU, and bare-metal machines. Your hourly rate scales with the instance you choose: more compute, memory, or GPU capacity carries a higher rate. You select one instance type to match your workload. The software itself is identical across all of them; only the underlying infrastructure size and its hourly cost change.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I actually get for the hourly rate on each instance type?
You get a browser-based Kali Linux desktop running on the AWS EC2 instance size you pick. It comes pre-installed with 2500+ security tools for penetration testing and auditing. The rate covers the software licence; you access the GUI through a browser with no VNC client needed.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or shut down?
Software charges accrue per hour only while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops the hourly software charge. Note that stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those are separate from this listing's per-hour software cost.
Does choosing a larger instance change what the software can do?
No. The Kali Linux environment and its 2500+ tools are identical across every instance type. A larger instance only adds compute, memory, or GPU capacity, which raises the hourly rate. You pick the size to match workload demand, not to unlock extra software features.
