Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you run. This listing packages SQL Server 2017 Enterprise on Windows Server 2019, with vendor support included. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS instance size and family, so your cost scales with the compute you choose. Smaller shared-CPU types like t2 and t3 sit at the low end. Larger general-purpose (m-series), compute-optimized (c-series), memory-optimized (r- and x-series), storage (i-, d-series), and GPU/accelerated (g-, p-, inf-, trn-series) instances cost more per hour. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to one running EC2 instance of that size and family, preloaded with SQL Server 2017 Enterprise on Windows Server 2019. The instance type sets the vCPU, memory, and storage profile. Vendor support is included. You pay the listed rate for each hour that specific instance runs.
The software charge meters running hours only. A stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software fee. You may still pay separate AWS charges for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but those are billed by AWS, not by this listing.
Support is included with the listing. You open a request through the vendor's support form and include your AWS account ID, product name, AMI ID, and a description of the issue. There is no separate support charge added on top of the hourly rate.
