Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 image with a bundled security agent. Pricing follows the EC2 instance type you launch, so each dimension maps to one size and family. Options span general purpose (m, t), compute optimized (c), memory optimized (r, x, u, z), storage (d, i), accelerated computing (g, p, inf, trn, f, vt), and high performance computing (hpc) families. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware carry higher hourly rates. Charges accrue only while an instance runs, with no upfront commitment or term.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type, defining CPU, memory, and any specialized hardware. You launch the hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 image with the bundled security agent on that size. The hourly rate covers the software license and agent for that running instance.
The software charge meters running time only. Fully stopped instances do not accrue this hourly software fee. Stopped instances may still incur separate AWS storage charges for their attached volumes, but those are billed by AWS, not by this listing.
This is usage-based with no upfront commitment or term. Charges accrue per hour only while an instance runs. If you switch to a different instance type, the hourly rate changes to match that dimension. Larger instances with more CPU or memory carry higher hourly rates.
