    Dimensions summary

    You pay by the hour for a hardened CentOS Stream 8 image that runs on AWS EC2. The software price is the same across all choices; what changes is the EC2 instance type you select. Each dimension maps to one instance size, from small shared-CPU types to large memory, compute, storage, and GPU-focused machines. Pricing scales with the instance's capacity, so you pick the size that fits your workload. You only pay for the hours each instance runs, with no upfront commitment or fixed term.

    Top-of-mind questions for buyers

    You get a hardened CentOS Stream 8 image running on the EC2 instance size you pick. The image comes with updates, firewalls, and network protocols pre-configured. The software fee is the same across instance types; the hourly rate shown reflects that chosen machine's capacity.
    The software fee meters only running instance-hours. When you stop an instance, hourly software charges stop too. Stopped instances may still incur separate AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those are billed by AWS, not as part of this software charge.
    Two charges apply at the same time. The software fee here is billed per instance-hour. Standard AWS infrastructure costs for the EC2 instance and storage are billed separately by AWS. Both appear on the same invoice, and larger instance types carry higher charges for each.

    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.
