Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for AlmaLinux 9 - Hardened, billed through the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) you run. Pricing has no fixed tiers or commitments. Instead, each rate maps to a specific Amazon EC2 instance type, from small general-purpose sizes up to large compute, memory, storage, and accelerated instances. Your cost scales with the instance you select and how many hours you run it. Larger or more specialized instances carry higher hourly rates. You can start or stop usage at any time, paying only for the hours you use.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay a software fee for the AlmaLinux 9 - Hardened image, billed per hour it runs on that Amazon EC2 instance type. This is separate from AWS's own charge for the underlying compute. Each instance type carries its own hourly software rate.
The software fee meters running hours only. A stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Note that AWS may still bill you for attached storage, such as EBS volumes, while the instance is stopped. That storage cost is separate from this listing.
Your hourly software rate is tied to the specific instance type you launch. Moving to a different type applies that type's rate going forward. Larger or specialized instances carry higher hourly rates. You are not locked in, so you can change instances as your needs shift.
