Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you choose to run this hardened Adobe ColdFusion machine image. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size across several families, including general-purpose (m6i, m7i, m6a, m7a, m6in, m6id, m6idn, m7i-flex), compute-optimized (c7a, c7i), memory-optimized (r7i, r7a, r7iz), storage-optimized (i4i), and burstable (t3, t3a) types. Sizes range from small through 4xlarge. Larger instances carry more CPU and memory, so hourly software cost scales with the instance capacity you select. You add standard AWS infrastructure charges separately.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get a hardened Adobe ColdFusion machine image running on the EC2 instance type you select. Coalesce hardens and optimizes the image for production use and AWS service consumption. It is ready to deploy and can launch in one step using CloudFormation templates.
The hourly software charge applies while the instance runs. A stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue software charges. Standard AWS infrastructure fees, such as storage for attached volumes, may still apply while the instance is stopped. You pay software cost only for running hours.
Each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance size and family. Larger sizes and families with more CPU, memory, or specialized storage carry higher hourly rates. General-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and burstable families each price differently. You match the instance to your workload and pay that instance's hourly rate.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.

Additional details
Usage instructions
After launching the AMI on an EC2 Instance, if you have network access to the instance over port 22, connect to it using a Secure Shell (SSH) client by right clicking the instance in the EC2 console and selecting Connect. SSH into the instance with the username 'ec2-user' with the KeyPair you associated with the instance. Alternatively, you can connect using Session Manager instead of using an SSH client. The default CF administrator password is set to the EC2 Instance ID.
