Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened operating system image, billed per running instance. Pricing has one dimension only: the EC2 instance type you choose to launch it on. Each instance type carries its own hourly software rate. Smaller instances like t3.nano cost less per hour, while large compute, memory, and GPU types such as m7i, r7i, and p5.48xlarge cost more. You control your total cost by selecting the instance size and running hours that fit your workload. AWS infrastructure charges apply separately from this software rate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The rate covers the hardened operating system image supplied by the vendor. This is a security-configured version of the OS, pre-installed and ready to launch. The rate applies per running instance-hour and pairs with whichever EC2 instance type you select. It does not include the underlying AWS compute charge.
The hourly software rate meters running time only. A stopped or paused instance does not accrue the software charge. You may still incur separate AWS fees, such as storage for attached volumes, while the instance is stopped. Charges resume when you start the instance again.
Each EC2 instance type carries its own hourly software rate, so switching changes your per-hour cost. There are no tiers or thresholds to cross. The rate updates automatically based on the instance type you launch. Your total depends on which type you run and for how many hours.
