Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for Microsoft Windows Server Core 2016 Datacenter running on your chosen EC2 instance type. Each dimension maps to a specific instance, so the price reflects that instance's compute capacity. Options span burstable t2, t3, and t3a families for lighter or variable workloads, and general-purpose m3, m4, m5, m5a, m5ad, m5d, m5dn, and m5n families for steady workloads. Within each family, sizes range from nano and micro up to 24xlarge and bare-metal. Hourly cost rises as you select larger instances. You run the core-only edition without a graphical interface.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one hour of running the Windows Server Core 2016 Datacenter software on a single EC2 instance of the type you chose. You pay per instance-hour for each running instance. Larger instance types carry proportionally larger hourly rates because they provide more compute capacity.
The software fee meters running time only. A stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. You may still pay underlying AWS storage fees for the volume while stopped, but those are separate from this listing's software metering.
Each dimension bills independently for the hours that instance runs. Moving from a smaller to a larger instance changes your rate to that instance's hourly price for the hours it runs. The change is manual — you select the instance type when you launch. No automatic tier upgrades apply.
