Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for SQL Server 2019 Enterprise running on Windows Server 2019, with vendor support included. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific Amazon EC2 instance type, and your rate depends on the instance you choose. Options span general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage, GPU, and high-memory instance families in sizes from nano to metal. Larger instances with more CPU and memory carry higher hourly rates. You select the instance that fits your workload, and billing scales with the hours you run and the size you pick.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly unit covers one running EC2 instance of the type you select. That includes SQL Server 2019 Enterprise, Windows Server 2019, and vendor support. The instance type sets your CPU, memory, and rate. One instance running for one hour equals one billed hour.
The software charge meters running hours only. A stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software rate. Underlying AWS storage or other AWS resources may still incur separate AWS fees while stopped. The software billing tracks active running time for the instance type you chose.
Your hourly rate follows the instance type you run at any given time. Switching to an instance with more CPU and memory applies that instance's higher rate for the hours it runs. There is no tier upgrade or commitment. Billing simply reflects the type and hours in use.
