Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened Ubuntu 24.04 image on ARM-based EC2 instances. Each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, so pricing scales with the compute size and family you pick. The lineup spans general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, high-performance-compute, and graphics families. Within each family, sizes run from nano and medium up through metal, and the hourly rate rises with instance capacity. You choose the instance type that fits your workload and are billed only for the hours you run it. No upfront commitment applies.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you select, billed per hour. The hardened Ubuntu 24.04 software charge applies for each hour that instance runs. If you run several instances of the same type, each accrues its own hourly charge.
The software charge meters running hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue hourly software fees. Underlying AWS storage costs for the attached volume may still apply while the instance is stopped, but those are separate from this listing's per-hour charge.
This image is hardened, meaning it is configured to reduce system vulnerabilities against threats like unauthorized data access and denial of service. It follows recognized secure configuration standards. You pay the same hourly model regardless of instance type; the hardening is included with every dimension.
