You pay by the hour for Amazon Linux 2 running with support from VM Pro Support. Pricing follows the EC2 instance type you launch, so each dimension maps to one instance size. Costs scale with the compute, memory, storage, or GPU capacity of the instance you pick. Smaller general-purpose instances bill less per hour, while metal and large multi-core instances bill more. You choose the instance that fits your workload and pay only for the hours you run it. Every instance includes the same vendor support and audited configuration.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit map to for billing?
Each dimension maps to one running EC2 instance of that size. You are billed per hour that the instance runs. A metal instance bills as one physical server per hour. A general-purpose or GPU instance bills as one virtual machine per hour, based on its capacity.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused?
The software charge meters running hours only. Stopped instances do not accrue this hourly software charge. Underlying AWS resources, such as attached storage, may still bill separately while the instance is stopped. You resume charges when you start the instance again.
What is included with every instance regardless of the size I pick?
Every instance runs Amazon Linux 2 with the same vendor support and audited configuration. You get a support team to help you launch and resolve issues. Each virtual machine is tested against security controls. Only the instance size and its hourly rate change between dimensions.
