Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a Rocky Linux 8.8 image with support from Rinne Labs. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each option maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type you choose to run. The hourly software rate scales with the instance's size and capability, from small general-purpose types up to large memory-, compute-, storage-, and GPU-optimized and bare-metal instances. You select the instance that fits your workload and pay only for the hours it runs. AWS EC2 infrastructure charges apply separately from this software rate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each unit is one hour of running a Rocky Linux 8.8 image on the specific EC2 instance type you select. The rate covers the software image and Rinne Labs support. It does not include the underlying EC2 compute, which AWS bills separately on the same account.
The software rate meters running hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Note that AWS may still bill separately for attached storage while the instance is stopped, since storage is not part of this software rate.
No separate charge applies for staying current. Rinne Labs images ship with the latest security updates available at release and include repository configuration to keep the running image updated at no additional cost. You still pay the hourly software rate for the instance's running time.
