Amazon Linux 2023 with XFCE with support by Elm Computing (ARM)
You pay by the hour for the ARM-based EC2 instance you choose to run this software. Each dimension maps to a specific ARM instance type, so pricing scales with the compute size you select. Options span general-purpose (t4g, m6g, m7g), compute-optimized (c6g, c7g), memory-optimized (r6g, r7g, r8g), storage-optimized (i4g), GPU (g5g), and high-performance (hpc7g) families. Within each family, larger sizes cost more per hour. The software charge covers Elm Computing support and is added to the underlying AWS infrastructure cost. There is no upfront commitment; you are billed for actual runtime.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What exactly am I paying for beyond the AWS instance cost?
You pay Elm Computing for support on a repackaged open source product. This listing is Amazon Linux 2023 with an XFCE desktop and a preconfigured user account. The hourly software charge covers that support and sits on top of the underlying AWS infrastructure charge for the ARM instance you run.
Am I charged the hourly software fee when the instance is stopped?
The software fee meters running time only. When the instance is fully stopped, the hourly software charge stops accruing. A stopped instance may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for its disk, but that is separate from the Elm Computing software charge shown in the table.
How do I choose which hourly rate applies to me?
Each dimension maps to one specific ARM instance type, such as t4g.medium or r7g.4xlarge. You pick the instance size that fits your workload, and its listed hourly rate applies while running. Larger sizes within a family carry a higher hourly software charge. Only the instance you run is billed.

Make sure to replace i-0c7xxxxxxxxxxxxxx with your actual instance ID, which you can find in the AWS Management Console under the Instances section. Proceed to connect; you may receive a security warning about the certificate, but you can choose to continue.
