You pay by the hour for AlmaLinux 9 running on an Amazon Machine Image, with vendor support included. Billing is usage-based, so charges accrue only while an instance runs. Pricing is organized by EC2 instance type, and each type carries its own hourly rate. Hundreds of instance options are available, spanning general purpose, compute, memory, storage, accelerated computing, and high-memory metal families. Rates scale with instance size within a family, so larger instances cost more per hour. You select the instance type that fits your workload and pay the matching hourly rate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly rate cover, and what do I get for each instance type I select?
The hourly rate covers the AlmaLinux 9 (x86_64) software license and vendor support on the Amazon Machine Image. Each instance type maps to a specific EC2 configuration of CPU, memory, and storage. You pick the type that fits your workload and pay its matching hourly rate.
Am I charged the software fee when my instance is stopped or paused?
The hourly software charge meters running time only. When an instance is stopped, it does not accrue software charges. Underlying AWS charges, such as storage for the attached volume, may still apply while the instance is stopped, but those are billed by AWS separately.
If I move to a larger instance in the same family, how does my hourly cost change?
Each instance type carries its own hourly rate, and rates scale with size within a family. Moving to a larger instance means paying that instance's higher hourly rate instead. Billing switches automatically when you launch the new instance type; there is no upgrade step to arrange.
