Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for CentOS 7.9 with Runtime Guard, billed only while an instance runs. The single price you see is the software fee; AWS charges the underlying compute separately. Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type, so your rate follows the instance you launch. Options span general purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage, GPU, and high-memory families, from small shared-core sizes up to bare-metal and multi-terabyte machines. Larger instances carry higher hourly rates. You choose the instance that fits your workload, and there is no upfront commitment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You receive the CentOS 7.9 image with Runtime Guard, including updates, firewalls, and network protocols. The image installs with one click on AWS. Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type, so the size and family you launch set your hourly software rate.
The software fee meters running time only. A fully stopped or powered-off instance accrues no hourly software charge. Stopped instances may still incur separate AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but that is billed by AWS, not by this software listing.
Two charges apply at the same time and add together. The listing bills a per-hour software fee tied to your chosen instance type. AWS separately bills the underlying EC2 compute. Both scale with the instance you run, so larger instances raise both charges.

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.
