You pay by the hour for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS support, billed on usage with no upfront commitment. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, so your rate follows the instance you run. Rates scale with the size and family of that instance. Smaller instances, such as t2.nano or t3.micro, carry lower hourly charges. Larger instances, such as metal and 48xlarge sizes, carry higher hourly charges. You choose the instance that fits your workload, and support billing tracks that choice per running hour across compute, memory, storage, and accelerated families.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly charge actually cover for a given instance?
Each hourly rate covers Ubuntu 26.04 LTS support tied to one running EC2 instance of that type. One unit equals one running instance-hour. Support charges track the specific instance family and size you launch, so the rate matches the instance you run.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or paused?
Hourly support charges apply only while the instance runs. A stopped or paused instance does not accrue the per-hour support charge. Underlying AWS storage fees may still apply separately, but the support charge meters running time only.
Is this pay-as-you-go, or do I commit upfront?
This is usage-based billing with no upfront commitment. You pay the hourly rate for each running instance-hour. If you run instances continuously, charges add up per hour. If you run them intermittently, you pay only for the hours used.
