You pay by the hour for Ubuntu 22 with a preinstalled security agent, billed only while an instance runs. Pricing is set per EC2 instance type, so your rate follows the compute size you pick. Options span general purpose (m and t families), compute optimized (c), memory optimized (r, x, z), storage (d, i, h), and accelerated computing (g, p, inf, trn, dl). Larger instances within a family carry higher hourly rates. Bare metal and high-memory (u-series) instances are also available. You choose the instance type that fits your workload; the software fee scales with that choice.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I actually get for the hourly rate on each instance type?
You get Ubuntu 22 with a preinstalled security agent running on the EC2 instance size you choose. The hourly software fee covers the operating system image and agent. AWS compute, storage, and network charges bill separately from AWS at their own rates.
Am I charged the software fee when my instance is stopped or paused?
The software fee meters running time only. A stopped or fully powered-off instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. You may still pay AWS storage fees for the attached volume while the instance is stopped, but that is separate from this listing's fee.
How does my bill change if I move to a larger instance in the same family?
The software fee is set per instance type. Moving to a larger size in the same family applies that size's hourly rate for the hours it runs. The change is not automatic; you launch or resize to the instance type you select. Only running hours are billed.
