Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this Microsoft Windows Server 2025 image, billed per running instance. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific Amazon EC2 instance type, from small general-purpose sizes up to large memory, compute, storage, and accelerated types. Your hourly rate depends on which instance type you launch. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or GPU resources carry higher hourly rates. You can run multiple instances, and charges accrue per instance for each hour it runs. Premium support is included with the image as listed.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to one Amazon EC2 instance type, like t3.micro or m7a.48xlarge. The hourly rate reflects the CPU, memory, storage, or GPU capacity of that specific instance size. You pick the instance type that fits your workload, and the matching hourly software rate applies.
The software charge meters running instance-hours. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software fee. Underlying AWS storage and resource charges may still apply while the instance is stopped. The software rate counts only time the instance actively runs.
Charges accrue independently per running instance, per hour. Each instance bills at the hourly rate for its own EC2 instance type. Running multiple instances means those hourly rates add together on the same invoice. Mixed instance types each bill at their own matching rate.
