Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the hardened RHEL 8.8 software, billed on top of your AWS infrastructure. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, so your rate matches the instance you launch. Options span burstable families like t2, t3, and t3a, general-purpose families like m4 through m7, compute-optimized c-series, memory-optimized r-series and x-series, plus storage, GPU, and high-memory instances. Rates scale with instance size, so a nano or large instance costs less per hour than a metal or 24xlarge instance. You pick the instance that fits your workload.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly unit covers the hardened RHEL 8.8 software running on one EC2 instance of the matching type. The rate you see maps to a specific instance, such as t3.medium or m5.large. You are billed per running instance-hour on top of your AWS infrastructure charges.
The hourly software charge meters running time only. When you stop an instance, the software rate stops accruing. Underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volumes may still apply, but those are separate from this listing's per-hour software charge.
Your hourly rate follows the instance you launch. Each instance type is its own pricing dimension. If you move from a smaller instance to a metal or 24xlarge instance, the software rate changes to match that instance type from the moment it runs.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
