Dimensions summary
You pay nothing for the Rocky Linux 9 software itself. This listing is free, so your only charge is the standard AWS cost for the EC2 instance you run it on. Each dimension maps to a specific aarch64 (ARM-based) instance type, billed hourly. Your rate scales with the instance you pick. Options range from small sizes like t4g.nano through large bare-metal sizes like m8g.metal-48xl. They span general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, and storage-optimized families. You choose the instance that matches your workload; the operating system carries no separate fee.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to one running aarch64 EC2 instance of that type, billed per hour it runs. The Rocky Linux 9 software itself is free, so the metered hour reflects only the standard AWS charge for that specific instance size.
Hourly charges apply only while the instance runs. A stopped instance stops accruing hourly instance charges. Because the software is free, there is no separate license fee either way, though attached AWS storage may still incur standard AWS costs.
Yes. You pick the instance type that fits your workload, and your hourly rate reflects that choice. Larger sizes bill at their own hourly rate. The switch is not automatic; you choose or resize the instance yourself. The operating system adds no fee at any size.

Review from a verified AWS customer
I've been a fan of CentOS for a while, and gave Rocky Linux a try once CentOS decided to no longer be a thing. Anyways, Rocky Linux is a perfect substitution for me
