You pay by the hour for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 running on AWS. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, and your hourly rate follows the instance you choose. Options span general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, GPU, and high-memory families, from nano and micro sizes up to metal and multi-terabyte builds. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware carry higher hourly rates. You run only the instances you need and stop billing when you stop the instance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover for a given instance type?
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you pick, billed per hour. The rate covers the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 software running on that specific instance size. Each instance you launch meters its own hours separately. Different instance families and sizes carry different hourly rates.
Am I charged when I stop or pause an instance?
The software charge meters running instance-hours. When you stop the instance, that hourly software charge stops accruing. Underlying AWS fees, such as storage for the stopped volume, may still apply separately. You pay only for the hours each instance actually runs.
What drives my cost if I run several different instance types at once?
Each running instance bills independently at its own hourly rate. Your total is the sum across all active instances. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware raise the per-hour rate. Instance count and the sizes you choose together determine your bill.
