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.
You pay by the hour for the AWS EC2 instance type you run BATON Verification Manager on. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, so pricing scales with the compute you choose. The options span compute-optimized (c-family) and general-purpose (m-family) instances in 2xlarge, 4xlarge, and 8xlarge sizes across several generations. Larger instance sizes carry higher hourly rates because they provide more processing capacity. You select the instance that matches your QC workload and only pay for the hours you use, with no upfront commitment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What compute resource does one hourly charge cover on a given instance dimension?
Each dimension bills one running EC2 instance of that named type per hour. A dimension like c6i.4xlarge covers a single instance of that size. Charges accrue while the instance runs. Larger sizes such as 8xlarge provide more processing capacity and carry higher hourly rates than 2xlarge or 4xlarge sizes.
Am I charged when the instance running BATON Verification Manager is stopped?
Software charges meter running instance-hours only. When you stop the instance, the hourly software charge stops accruing. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those are separate from the BATON usage charge. You pay only for the hours the instance runs.
How do I decide between a compute-optimized c-family and a general-purpose m-family instance?
BATON runs frame-level automated QC checks that are processing-intensive, so compute-optimized c-family instances suit heavy verification loads. General-purpose m-family instances offer more memory relative to compute for mixed workloads. Each dimension bills independently by the hour, so you match the instance family and size to your QC throughput needs.

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.
