You pay by the hour for RHEL 8 running on the AWS EC2 instance type you choose. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, so there are no tiers or plans to compare. Pricing scales with the compute resources of the instance you select. Smaller instance types like t- and micro sizes carry lower hourly rates. Larger and specialized instances, such as memory-optimized (r-family), compute-optimized (c-family), GPU (g- and p-family), storage (i- and d-family), and bare-metal options, carry higher rates. You only pay for the hours each instance runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one billed hour cover for a given instance dimension?
Each dimension maps to one AWS EC2 instance size running RHEL 8. One billed hour equals one hour that instance runs. The rate covers the operating system software licence for that specific instance. Underlying AWS compute charges are billed separately by AWS.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused?
The hourly software rate meters running time only. When you stop an instance, it stops accruing software charges. Restarting resumes the hourly charge. Note that AWS may still bill for attached storage on stopped instances, but that is separate from the RHEL 8 software rate.
If I move my workload to a larger instance, how does my charge change?
Each instance type has its own hourly rate. Switching to a different instance changes your rate to that new type's price. The change takes effect when the new instance runs. You pay the old rate only for hours the old instance ran.
