Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this product, running on a hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 image. Pricing is not tiered by features. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific Amazon EC2 instance type, and your hourly rate depends on which one you choose. Options range from small, general-purpose sizes like t2.micro up to large compute, memory, storage, and accelerated instances such as bare-metal and high-memory types. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware carry higher hourly rates. You select the instance that fits your workload and pay only for the hours you run.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to one running Amazon EC2 instance of the named type. The rate covers the software licence for the hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 image on that instance size. The instance's CPU, memory, and storage match the standard specification for that EC2 type.
The software rate meters running time only. A stopped or fully powered-off instance does not accrue software charges. You may still pay separate AWS fees for attached storage while the instance is stopped. Charges resume when you start the instance again.
You are not locked into one instance type. Switch to a different dimension by launching the size that fits your workload. Larger CPU, memory, storage, or accelerated instances carry higher hourly rates. You pay only for the hours each instance runs, so cost tracks your actual usage.
