Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for each running instance, with rates set per Arm-based (arm64) EC2 instance type. The many dimensions all map to specific instance families and sizes, including general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, GPU, and high-performance computing options. Larger instance sizes carry higher hourly rates, so cost scales with the compute, memory, and storage capacity you select. There are no tiers or feature levels to choose between. The same software subscription applies across every instance type, and charges accrue only while instances run.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate covers the Rocky Linux from CIQ Pro subscription running on that Arm-based instance. Charges accrue only while the instance runs. Fully stopped instances do not accrue software charges, though underlying AWS storage fees may still apply separately.
One subscription includes Long-Term Support, FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography, direct bug fixes, committed CVE response timelines, and indemnification. The same features apply regardless of which instance type you run. There are no separate tiers to assemble these capabilities.
Software charges are set per instance type and size, so the hourly rate changes when you switch instances. Larger sizes carry higher hourly rates, matching added compute, memory, or storage. The change happens when you launch the new instance type; there is no automatic upgrade.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.

Usage instructions
Connect to the instance over SSH using the instance public IP, with username "rocky" and the private key generated when you launched the instance.
Example command: $ ssh -i ./ssh-private-key.pem rocky@PublicIPAddress
When you are logged in as "rocky", you can use the sudo command to run administrative tasks. Note that the specific command you use to connect to the instance may vary depending on the operating system and ssh client you are using on your end. By default, the instance is secured by AWS network security configuration; you may optionally install your choice of a local firewall such as firewalld after launch.
