See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
This listing uses the Free software model, so the vendor charges nothing for the software itself. You pay only for the AWS EC2 instance you run it on, billed hourly. Each pricing line maps to one EC2 instance type, letting you match compute, memory, storage, or accelerator needs to your workflow automation load. General-purpose (m, t), compute-optimized (c), memory-optimized (r, x, z), storage-optimized (d, i), and accelerated (g, p, inf, trn) families are all available. Cost scales with the size and capability of the instance you select. You run it in your own cloud account.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly pricing line map to, and how is it counted?
Each line maps to one AWS EC2 instance type. You are billed per hour the instance runs. The vendor charges nothing for the software itself under the Free model. You pay only the hourly rate shown for the instance size you launch in your own cloud account.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or powered off?
The software carries no charge under the Free model, so no software fee accrues at any time. Hourly charges track the running EC2 instance. A stopped instance stops the running meter, though AWS may still bill underlying storage attached to that instance.
How does cost change if I move to a larger instance type?
Each instance type is billed at its own hourly rate. Cost scales with the size and capability of the instance you select. Switching to a different family or size changes the hourly rate; you pay the new rate for hours the new instance runs.

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.
Version release notes
Security and maintenance refresh.
Rebuilt from a current Ubuntu 24.04 base image and fully patched, addressing
the operating-system vulnerabilities reported by the AWS Marketplace
security scan.
Built by an automated, reproducible EC2 Image Builder pipeline rather than
by hand, so future security refreshes ship on a monthly schedule.
Hardened: SSH password authentication and direct root login are disabled,
SSH host keys are generated per instance on first boot, and no credentials,
shell history or build-host identity is present in the image.
Container runtime consolidated onto the Ubuntu-maintained Docker packages
so it is patched automatically, and Docker Compose is now installed
explicitly rather than relied upon.
