Dimensions summary
The AlmaLinux OS itself carries no software charge. All AlmaLinux OS Amazon Machine Images are free of charge. Pricing here reflects only the AWS EC2 instance you choose to run it on, billed per hour. Each line maps to a specific arm64 (ARM 64-bit) instance type. These span general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, and storage-dense families, across generations, in sizes from medium up to metal. Your hourly cost scales with the instance size and family you select. Larger sizes and specialized families cost more per hour. You pay AWS for compute only, with no separate operating system fee.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each line maps to one running arm64 EC2 instance of the named type. You pay per hour that instance runs. The AlmaLinux OS software itself adds no charge. Instance size and family determine the hourly rate. One instance of a given type equals one metered unit.
The AlmaLinux OS carries no software charge in any state. Hourly rates apply only while the instance runs. A stopped or powered-off instance accrues no hourly compute charge. Attached AWS storage may still incur separate fees, billed by AWS, not by this listing.
This is pay-as-you-go. You pick an arm64 instance type and pay per hour it runs, with no upfront commitment. Cost scales with the hours used and the instance family and size you select. Stop the instance and the hourly charge stops.
