You pay by the hour for this Ubuntu 22.04 desktop with XFCE GUI. Billing is usage-based, so charges accrue only while an instance runs. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, priced per hour. The hourly rate reflects the size and capability of the instance you select, from small shared instances to large memory-, compute-, storage-, and GPU-optimized and bare-metal machines. Pricing scales with instance size: larger instances with more CPU, memory, or accelerators carry higher hourly rates. You choose the instance type that fits your workload and pay the matching rate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit include for this listing?
Each hourly unit maps to one running AWS EC2 instance of the type you select. It bundles the Ubuntu 22.04 operating system, the XFCE graphical desktop, and a preconfigured user account. The rate covers the vendor's software packaging and support. You run one instance and pay one matching hourly rate.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or paused?
Software charges accrue only while the instance runs. When you stop the instance, the hourly software rate stops. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but the software meter counts running time only. Restarting resumes hourly charges at the same rate.
How is this priced compared with a fixed subscription?
This listing uses usage-based hourly billing with no upfront commitment. The meter records actual instance-hours, so cost tracks how long you keep an instance running. This favors variable or short-lived desktop sessions where you start and stop as needed rather than run continuously.

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.
