Highlights
Amazon EC2 makes it easy to start and manage your Windows-based instances.
Amazon EC2 running Windows Server provides seamless integration with existing Amazon EC2 features like Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), Amazon CloudWatch, Elastic-Load Balancing, and Elastic IPs.
You can manage your Amazon EC2 resources using our web service APIs. We provide the AWS SDK for .NET that enables you to call AWS infrastructure services.
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 each running instance of Windows Server 2016 Standard (simplified Chinese) with support from Hanwei. Pricing is not tiered by feature. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, such as general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage, or accelerated GPU families. Your hourly rate scales with the size and capability of the instance you select. Larger instances with more vCPUs, memory, or specialized hardware carry higher hourly rates. You choose the instance type that matches your workload, and billing tracks actual usage hours.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one billed unit represent for each dimension?
Each dimension maps to one running EC2 instance of the matching type, billed per hour. One unit equals one active virtual machine of that size. If you run two instances of the same type, you pay two hourly rates. Counting tracks each running instance separately.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or paused?
The hourly software rate applies only while an instance runs. Fully stopped instances stop accruing the software charge. Note that underlying AWS resources, such as attached storage, may still incur separate AWS fees even when the instance is not running.
What is included beyond the operating system license in the hourly rate?
The rate covers the Windows Server 2016 Standard simplified Chinese image with support from Hanwei. Hanwei tracks application releases and issues updates when security issues appear. Underlying AWS compute and storage costs bill separately from this hourly software charge.
