NVIDIA Isaac Sim™ is a reference application built on the NVIDIA Omniverse™ platform that enables developers to simulate and test AI-driven robotics solutions in physically based virtual environments.
NVIDIA Isaac Sim™ is an open-source reference framework built on NVIDIA Omniverse™ that enables developers to simulate and test AI-driven robotics solutions in physically based virtual environments. Isaac Sim is fully extensible. This enables developers to build Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD)-based custom simulators or integrate core Isaac Sim technologies into existing testing and validation pipelines.
The NVIDIA Isaac Sim Development Workstation (Windows) AMI enables users to provision a workstation with graphical capabilities within AWS, eliminating the need to run Omniverse-based applications locally on an RTX-enabled workstation.
The NVIDIA Isaac Sim™ Development Workstation (Windows) AMI includes all the essential development tools and drivers to scale your robotics simulations:
NVIDIA Isaac Sim™
Visual Studio Code
Docker
Certified NVIDIA GPU drivers
This AMI uses the EC2 g6e instance featuring NVIDIA L40s RTX and the g7e instance featuring NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 GPUs.
This GPU-optimized AMI for Isaac Sim™ is free to use on AWS. (Infrastructure costs will apply.)
Use of the Isaac Sim™ Development workstation requires membership in the NVIDIA developers program, which developers can sign up for free at https://developer.nvidia.com. NVIDIA Isaac Sim™ is a free reference application built on NVIDIA Omniverse Kit. With a membership to the NVIDIA Developer Program, a free developer license is provided for Kit, which allows Isaac Sim to be freely used for non-production use.
The NICE DCV client is required to connect to this virtual machine.
Highlights
All the essential development tools and drivers for NVIDIA Isaac Sim are pre-configured and ready to use.
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.
The software itself is free. You pay only for the AWS EC2 instance hours you run. Pricing is billed hourly and organized by instance size across two families: g6e and g7e. Within each family, sizes scale from xlarge up through 48xlarge, with several mid-range options like 2xlarge, 4xlarge, 8xlarge, 12xlarge, 16xlarge, and 24xlarge. Larger instances provide more compute and graphics capacity for heavier simulation work. You choose the instance size that fits your workload, then run it as long as needed. Costs accrue per hour of use.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The software is free, so what am I actually paying for each hour?
You pay only for the underlying AWS EC2 instance you run. The software carries no license charge. Each hourly rate reflects the compute and graphics capacity of the chosen instance size. Your bill accrues per hour the instance runs, across the g6e or g7e family you select.
Am I charged when the workstation instance is stopped or idle?
Hourly charges apply while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops accruing hourly software-related charges. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes. To avoid running-time costs, stop the instance when you finish your simulation work.
How do the g6e and g7e instance families differ for my simulation workload?
Both families run the same Isaac Sim workstation and support simulation, rendering, and synthetic data generation. Sizes scale from xlarge to 48xlarge within each family. Larger sizes give more compute and graphics capacity for heavier scenes. You pick the family and size that match your workload, then run it hourly.

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.
