AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
You pay by the hour based on the arm64 EC2 instance type you run. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, so pricing scales with the compute, memory, and storage capacity you choose. Options range from small burstable instances (like t4g.nano) up to large and bare-metal instances (like m8gn.48xlarge). Compute-optimized (c-series), memory-optimized (r- and x-series), storage-optimized (i-series), and general-purpose (m- and t-series) families are all available. You select the instance that fits your workload; the software runs on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16 with Apache Tomcat preinstalled.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly rate cover, and what runs on the instance I select?
The hourly rate covers the software license bundle: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16 with Apache Tomcat 9 and OpenJDK 21 preinstalled and preconfigured. Tomcat starts automatically at boot. You deploy your Java web application by copying WAR files to the instance. This software charge is separate from the underlying AWS compute cost.
Am I charged when I stop or pause an instance running this image?
The software charge meters running instance-hours. When you fully stop an instance, the hourly software charge stops accruing. Powered-off instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but the license itself bills only while the instance runs.
Can I switch to a different instance type later, and how does that affect my rate?
Each dimension maps to one arm64 instance type billed per hour. If you move your workload to another instance size, your hourly software rate changes to match that instance type. You are billed at the rate for whichever instance is actively running.

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.
Use the image to start an instance of your choice in Amazon EC2. Once the instance is running connect to it using a Secure Shell (SSH) client as 'ec2-user' and the configured SSH key. You may connect the instance to the SUSE Customer Center (SCC) or the region local SUSE operated update infrastructure using your existing SUSE registration key. Use 'SUSEConnect -r' or 'registercloudguest -r', respectively to enable your instance to receive maintenance updates and security fixes.
