You pay by the hour for this hardened CentOS 9 machine image. Pricing is charged per running instance, so your cost scales with how long each instance runs. The many dimensions all map to specific AWS EC2 instance types built on Arm-based processors. They vary by size and family: general-purpose (m6g, t4g, a1), compute-optimized (c6g, c7g, c6gn), memory-optimized (r6g, x2gd), storage-optimized (im4gn, is4gen), and graphics (g5g). Larger sizes carry more CPU, memory, or storage and bill at a higher hourly rate. You choose the instance type that fits your workload.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover for this CentOS 9 image?
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you pick. You are billed for each hour that instance runs the hardened CentOS 9 image. Each instance you launch bills separately. Cost tracks total running hours across all your instances.
Am I charged the software fee when an instance is stopped?
The hourly software fee applies only while an instance runs. A stopped instance does not accrue this software charge. You may still owe underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volumes, but the CentOS 9 image meters running time only.
Why are there so many instance-type dimensions, and how do I choose?
Each dimension maps to one Arm-based EC2 instance type and family. You pick the one matching your workload needs for CPU, memory, or storage. Larger sizes bill at a higher hourly rate. You are charged only for the type you actually run.

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.
