SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) Micro is a lightweight and secure OS platform purpose-built for containerized workloads. It is well suited for any decentralized computing environment such as edge, embedded or IoT deployment without vendor lock-in. (EMEA Orders Only)
SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro leverages the enterprise-hardened technology components of SUSE Linux Enterprise and merges that with what developers want from a modern, secure, immutable OS platform. As a result, you get an ultra-reliable infrastructure platform that is also simple to use and comes out-of-the-box with best-in-class compliance.
Highlights
Immutable OS. Immutable design ensures the OS is not altered during runtime and runs reliably every single time. Security signed and verified transactional updates are easy to rollback if things go wrong.
Perfect for Containers and Kubernetes. You can easily combine SLE Micro with the latest cloud-native technologies including Rancher, RKE, Longhorn persistent block storage, and K3S, the world's most popular Kubernetes distribution for use in low resource, distributed edge locations.
Low maintenance. SLE Micro with its small footprint and modular architecture makes it easy to customize, build images, configure, deploy, update, and automate. So, all routine maintenance functions like patches, updates, config changes are seamless.
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.
You pay by the hour for SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5 on ARM64, billed per running instance. Pricing is not a set of feature tiers. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific AWS ARM64 (Graviton) instance type, such as t4g, c8g, m8g, r8g, i8ge, and x8g families. The hourly software rate scales with the instance size you choose, from small sizes like medium and large up to metal and 48xlarge sizes. You select the instance that fits your workload, and you pay only for the hours each instance runs. This listing serves EMEA orders only.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly software rate cover, and what does one instance-hour include?
Each dimension maps to one running ARM64 (Graviton) instance of that type. You pay the software rate for every hour that instance runs. This covers the SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5 operating system and its support. AWS compute and storage charges are billed separately by AWS.
Am I charged the software rate when my instance is stopped or powered off?
The software rate meters running time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue software charges. Underlying AWS storage fees may still apply while the instance is stopped, but the SUSE software licence charges only for hours the instance actively runs.
How does my cost change if I move to a larger ARM64 instance type?
The hourly software rate scales with the instance size you select. Moving from a smaller size such as medium or large to a metal or 48xlarge size raises the hourly rate. You pay the rate for the instance type you run, changing only when you switch instance types.

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.
Use the image to start an instance of your choice in Amazon EC2. Once the instance is running connect to it using a Secure Shell (SSH) client as 'suse' and the configured SSH key. The instance is connected to the SUSE update infrastructure to receive updates. Use the transactional-update command to update the system or install additional packages.
AWS Support is a one-on-one, fast-response support channel that is staffed 24x7x365 with experienced and technical support engineers. The service helps customers of all sizes and technical abilities to successfully utilize the products and features provided by Amazon Web Services.
