Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened CentOS 7.9 image, billed per running instance. Each dimension maps to one AWS EC2 instance type, from small shared-core sizes like t3.nano up through large memory, compute, storage, GPU, and bare-metal options. Your cost tracks the instance type you launch, so larger instances with more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware carry a different hourly rate. There are no tiers or commitments. You run only the sizes you need and stop paying when you stop the instance. AWS infrastructure charges apply separately.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each unit is one running EC2 instance of the chosen type, metered per hour. The rate pays for the hardened CentOS 7.9 software on that instance. Picking a size like m5.large versus m5.4xlarge sets the hourly software rate. You pay for each instance you launch separately.
The hourly software charge meters running time only. A stopped instance does not accrue software charges. You resume paying when you start it again. Underlying AWS storage or other infrastructure fees may still apply while the instance is stopped, and those are billed by AWS separately.
Yes. The hourly software rate follows the instance type you launch. Moving from a smaller size to a larger one applies that larger type's rate for the hours it runs. There are no tiers or commitments, so the change takes effect as soon as the new instance runs.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.
