Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for CentOS Stream 8 with Enterprise Linux Support, billed per running EC2 instance. Each pricing dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, from small burstable sizes up to large memory, compute, storage, GPU, and bare-metal options. The software rate attaches to whichever instance type you launch. Your cost scales with the size and family you choose, so pricing rises as you move to larger or more specialized instances. You are not locked into a term; charges accrue only while instances run. Underlying AWS infrastructure fees are separate from this software support charge.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you launch. The support rate attaches to that instance and meters each hour it runs. Each instance you start counts separately. Larger instance types carry a different hourly rate, so your unit cost changes with the size and family you pick.
The software support charge meters running time only. Stopped or powered-off instances do not accrue this hourly charge. Charges resume when you restart the instance. Note that separate AWS fees, such as storage for stopped instances, are billed by AWS and are not part of this support charge.
There is no term commitment. Billing is usage-based, so the hourly support charge accrues only while an instance runs. You can launch, stop, and terminate instances freely. This suits variable workloads because you pay for actual instance-hours rather than a fixed period.
