You pay by the hour for running Kafka 4.1 on Amazon Linux 2023, with vendor support from ThinkCloud. Pricing is usage-based, so charges accrue only while an instance runs. The many dimensions are not tiers or plans. Each one maps to a specific Amazon EC2 instance type, such as general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, or accelerated families. Your hourly rate depends on which instance type you select. Larger instance sizes carry higher hourly rates than smaller sizes in the same family. You choose the instance that fits your workload's compute, memory, and storage needs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover for a given instance dimension?
Each dimension maps to one running Amazon EC2 instance of that specific type. You are billed per hour for each instance you run. The rate bundles the Kafka 4.1 software on Amazon Linux 2023 plus ThinkCloud support. Underlying AWS infrastructure charges apply separately from this software rate.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused?
The hourly software rate meters only running time. When you stop an instance, the software charge for that dimension stops accruing. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those are separate from this listing's per-hour software charge.
Can I run several instance types at once, and how do they combine on my bill?
Yes. You can run instances from different dimensions at the same time. Each running instance bills independently at its own hourly rate. Your total software charge is the sum across all running instances. Adding or removing instances changes the bill immediately, with no upgrade step required.

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.
