Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the Hardened RHEL 8.8 machine image, and rates vary by the EC2 instance type you launch. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, so pricing scales with the compute, memory, and storage that instance provides. Smaller shared-core instances carry lower hourly rates, while memory-optimized, compute-optimized, GPU, storage, and bare-metal families carry higher rates. You choose one instance type per running server. There is no upfront commitment; you are billed only for the hours each instance runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly rate covers the Hardened RHEL 8.8 machine image running on one EC2 instance of the type you pick. The image comes pre-updated for a minimal install. You pay for one instance per running server, metered per hour it runs.
The software rate meters running hours only. A stopped or paused instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Underlying AWS resources, such as attached storage, may still bill separately through AWS. You are charged again once the instance restarts.
Each instance type maps to its own hourly rate. Switching to a different type changes the rate to that type's price for the hours it runs. Larger compute, memory, GPU, storage, or bare-metal instances carry higher hourly rates. You choose one instance type per running server.
