Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this CentOS 9 desktop image, based on the EC2 instance type you run. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, so the software rate is tied to the compute you choose. Smaller instances like t2, t3, and t3a fit lighter use. Larger instances such as metal, 24xlarge, and 32xlarge sizes suit heavier workloads. Families cover general purpose (m), compute optimized (c), memory optimized (r), storage optimized (i, d), and high I/O (h) options. You are billed only for hours the instance runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get a CentOS 9 desktop image with a Gnome graphical interface, reachable through VNC remote access. The image runs on the EC2 instance type you pick. That instance's size sets its CPU, memory, and storage. The software rate is billed per hour the instance runs.
The software rate meters running hours only. When you stop the instance, the hourly software charge stops accruing. You are billed for the hours the instance is actually running. Note that AWS may still charge underlying storage fees for a stopped instance, separate from this software rate.
Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type. Larger instances give more CPU, memory, or storage and carry a different hourly rate. You choose the instance size that fits your workload, then pay that size's rate for each hour it runs. The same desktop software runs on every size.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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 AMI with latest security patches and improvements
Additional details
Usage instructions
- Launch the instance either via AWS MarketPlace wizard or EC2 console
VNC Access
- Configure the Security Group to open Inbound TCP port 5901 from your location or use default settings (not recommended)
- Use a VNC client (for example: https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/viewer/ ) to connect to the instance's IP on the port 5901.
- The password is the instance id.
SSH Access
- Configure the Security Group to open Inbound TCP port 22 from your location or 0.0.0.0/0 (open to the world)
- Use an SSH client (for example: https://www.putty.org ) to connect to the instance's IP on the port 22.
- Authenticate to the instance using the key pair selected during the instance launch. The user name is ec2-user.
Additional Information
Monitoring the Health of the instance
- Navigate to your Amazon EC2 console and verify that you're in the correct region.
- Choose Instance and select your launched instance.
- Select the server to display your metadata page and choose the Status checks tab at the bottom of the page to review if your status checks passed or failed.
Data Encryption
- This image does not provide encryption by default at the Operating System or Application level, customers are encouraged to enable EBS encryption during the Instance Launch: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSEncryption.html
- EBS Encryption using the Default key enables key rotation
- More details: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSEncryption.html#kms-key-rotation
- Using EBS encryption, the decryption is done automatically when using the instance.
- Customer data can be saved anywhere in the instance, however it is a good practice to save user data (including sensitive data) in the /home/<user-name> directory.
