Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for MySQL running on Ubuntu 18.04. Each dimension maps to one Amazon EC2 instance type, so your rate depends on the instance you launch. The list spans general-purpose (m, t), compute-optimized (c), memory-optimized (r, x, z), storage-optimized (d, i, h), accelerated computing (g, p, inf, trn, dl, vt), and high-memory (u) families. Larger instances carry higher hourly rates because they provide more CPU and memory. You run only what you need and stop charges when you stop the instance. No upfront commitment applies to this usage-based billing.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get MySQL preinstalled on Ubuntu 18.04, running as one Amazon EC2 virtual machine. The instance type you pick sets the CPU and memory available, plus the hourly software rate. One dimension equals one running instance, billed per hour of run time.
The hourly software charge meters running time only. When you stop the instance, the software charge stops. You still may pay underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volume while the instance sits stopped. Restart the instance and the hourly charge resumes.
Each instance type is billed independently at its own hourly rate. Larger types cost more per hour because they provide more CPU and memory. You are not charged for two types at once. Switching means launching a new instance and stopping the old one.
