AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for a hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 image that meets CCN Basic Level compliance. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, and you pick the one you run. The hourly software rate scales with the size and class of that instance, from small general-purpose types up to large compute, memory, storage, GPU, and high-performance options. Software cost applies on top of your AWS infrastructure charges. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit map to for billing?
Each dimension maps to one running AWS EC2 instance of a specific type. You are billed the software rate for every hour that instance runs. Larger or higher-class instances carry a higher hourly software rate. The count is per instance, so running two instances bills two hourly rates.
Am I charged the software rate when an instance is stopped?
The software rate meters running time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue software charges. Note that AWS may still bill underlying infrastructure costs, such as storage, while an instance is stopped. To pause software charges, stop the instance.
What am I actually paying for beyond the AWS infrastructure charge?
You pay for a hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 image built to CCN Basic Level compliance. The image uses industry hardening frameworks such as STIG and NIST. On-demand support is available. This software rate is added to your normal AWS infrastructure charges.

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.
Version release notes
Updated release of CCN Basic Level Compliant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
Utilizing hardened images necessitates a nuanced approach due to their advanced security configurations and access controls, which may require additional adjustments for compatibility with specific workflows or applications. These images are designed with enhanced security measures to minimize vulnerabilities, offering superior protection compared to baseline images without pre-configured security settings. However, integrating them seamlessly into your operations might involve collaboration with security experts or providers for customization, ensuring both robust security and operational functionality. This extra step, while requiring more initial setup, positions hardened images as a more secure and compliant foundation for deployments, ultimately offering a significant advantage over baseline images by saving time and resources in achieving a secure, compliant, and efficient infrastructure.
