You pay by the hour for this hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 image with the GigaOps STIG Console. Pricing is usage-based, so you are billed only for the hours each instance runs. There are no tiers or plans. Instead, you pick the EC2 instance type that matches your compute needs. Rates vary by instance family and size, covering general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, accelerated, and high-memory options. Larger instances with more vCPUs and memory carry higher hourly rates. This software charge is separate from AWS infrastructure fees.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one billing unit cover for this hardened image?
One unit is one running EC2 instance, billed per hour. The rate depends on the instance type you launch, from small burstable sizes to large multi-vCPU and bare-metal options. Each running instance meters its own hours. Multiple instances each accrue separate hourly charges.
Am I charged the software fee when my instance is stopped or paused?
The software fee meters running time only. A stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. You may still pay AWS for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but that is separate from this software charge.
Does choosing a larger instance change my software rate or just the AWS compute cost?
Both change. The hourly software rate varies by instance family and size, so larger instances carry higher software rates. Separately, AWS bills its own compute fee for the same instance. The two charges add together on one invoice for each running hour.
