Dimensions summary
This listing is free software, so every dimension carries no license charge. The dimensions are AWS EC2 instance types built on the arm64 (Graviton) architecture. You pick the instance that matches your workload, and each is billed by the hour. Options range from small sizes like nano, micro, and medium up to large multi-core and bare-metal (metal) instances. Compute-, memory-, storage-, and GPU-focused families are all represented. Your cost depends on the AWS infrastructure you run, not the software itself. Choose the size and family that fit your capacity, memory, or accelerator needs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each unit is one AWS EC2 instance of the named type, billed per running hour. The software itself carries no license charge. Your hourly cost is the underlying AWS infrastructure fee for that arm64 (Graviton) instance. You pay only for the compute you run, sized by family and instance dimensions.
The software carries no license charge, so no software fee accrues whether running or stopped. AWS meters instance-hours only while the instance runs. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but no per-hour compute charge applies while they are powered off.
Match the family to your workload. Compute-focused (c) families suit HPC and simulation. Memory-focused (r, x) families suit large in-memory work. Storage-focused (i, im, is) families suit data-heavy tasks. GPU (g) families suit AI training. Metal sizes give bare-metal access. All run the same free arm64 image.

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.

Example command: $ ssh -i ./ssh-private-key.pem rocky@PublicIPAddress
When you are logged in as "rocky", you can use the sudo command to run administrative tasks. Note that the specific command you use to connect to the instance may vary depending on the operating system and ssh client you are using on your end.
