Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened Ubuntu 22 image with a bundled security agent. Pricing is set per Amazon EC2 instance type, so your rate depends only on which instance you run. Each size maps to a distinct hourly charge, and larger instances with more compute, memory, or storage carry higher rates. The list spans general-purpose (m, t), compute-optimized (c), memory-optimized (r, x, z), storage (d, i), accelerated (g, p, inf, trn), and high-memory (u) families. You run the image on-demand and stop charges when the instance stops. No upfront commitment applies.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each rate covers the hardened Ubuntu 22 image plus a bundled security agent running on one Amazon EC2 instance of the size you pick. The image adds updates, firewalls, and network protocols. Your hourly rate reflects that instance type's compute, memory, and storage size.
Software charges accrue only while the instance runs. When you stop the instance, the hourly software charge stops too. Stopped instances may still incur separate AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but the software meter counts running hours only.
You pay per running hour based on the EC2 instance type you choose. There is no upfront commitment. You launch on-demand and stop charges by stopping the instance. This suits variable or short-lived workloads where you run only when needed.
