AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for Docker running on AlmaLinux 8. Pricing has one structure: an hourly software rate tied to the EC2 instance size you pick. Each dimension maps to a specific instance type, from small general-purpose machines to large memory-, compute-, storage-, and GPU-focused options. Larger or more specialized instances carry higher hourly rates because they provide more compute, memory, or accelerator capacity. You choose the instance that fits your workload, and billing scales with the size and type you select. There is no upfront commitment; charges accrue only while instances run.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one billing unit cover for this product?
Each dimension bills per hour for one running EC2 instance of that type. You are charged for the software layer on top of the instance you launch. The rate follows the instance's size and family, so a large memory or GPU instance meters at a higher hourly rate than a small general-purpose one.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or paused?
The hourly software charge meters only while the instance runs. Stopping the instance halts the software charge. A stopped instance may still incur separate AWS storage fees for its attached volumes, but those are billed by AWS, not by this software listing.
How is this image deployed, and what support is available?
The image installs on AWS EC2 with a 1-click deployment. It ships with recent updates applied. For help, you open a support ticket and include your AWS subscription ID and the product name so a representative can respond.
