Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the software running on your chosen Amazon EC2 instance type. Each dimension maps to one specific EC2 instance size, and the price scales with that instance's compute, memory, storage, and accelerator profile. Smaller general-purpose types like t2 and t3 sit at the low end, while large memory, storage, GPU, and bare-metal types carry higher hourly rates. You select one instance type, and billing accrues only while that instance runs. There is no upfront commitment; usage stops when you stop the instance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate covers the Base NixOS 24.05 software running on your chosen Amazon EC2 instance. It is the software charge only. The underlying EC2 compute, storage, and data transfer are billed separately by AWS. You pay one rate per running instance per hour.
The software charge meters running instance-hours only. A stopped instance accrues no software fee. Note that AWS may still charge for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but the Base NixOS 24.05 software license bills only while the instance runs.
Yes. Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type, and the hourly rate reflects that instance's size and profile. Switching to a larger memory, storage, GPU, or bare-metal type moves you to that type's rate. You are billed at the rate of whichever type is running.
