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.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for each running instance, matched to the EC2 instance type you choose. The many dimensions listed are not tiers or feature levels. They are the specific EC2 instance sizes on which you run this Rocky Linux build. Each entry sets the hourly software rate for that instance type. Larger instance types carry higher hourly rates, so your cost scales with the compute size you select. You run one flat product with LTS security patching; there are no separate feature tiers to buy. AWS infrastructure charges are billed separately from this software rate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly charge covers the CIQ software running on one EC2 instance of the type you pick. The subscription bundles Long-Term Support, FIPS 140-3 validated packages, direct bug fixes, indemnification, and committed CVE response timelines as one standard offering. There are no separate feature tiers to buy.
The hourly software rate meters running time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue this software charge. Note that AWS may still bill separately for attached storage while an instance is stopped, but the software rate applies only while the instance runs.
Yes. The rate is tied to the specific instance type you run, not a feature level. Moving to a larger instance type applies that type's hourly rate. The software capabilities stay the same across every instance type; only the hourly figure changes with compute size.

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.
Version release notes
Updated to the latest security patches as of 6/01/2026 for x86_64 architecture with CIQ LTS.

Usage instructions
Connect to the instance over SSH using the instance public IP, with username "rocky" and the private key generated when you launched the instance. 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. By default, the instance is secured by AWS network security configuration; you may optionally install your choice of a local firewall such as firewalld after launch.
