Dimensions summary
You run Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with no license fee, so the software itself is free. Pricing is billed per hour and depends only on the AWS EC2 instance type you choose. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size and hardware family, from small general-purpose types up to large compute, memory, storage, GPU, and bare-metal options. Larger or more specialized instances carry higher hourly infrastructure rates. You pay only for the hours each instance runs. There are no tiers or commitments to select; your cost scales with the instance sizes and run time you use.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to one AWS EC2 instance type with a set amount of CPU, memory, and in some cases GPU or local storage. Larger family sizes provide more compute or memory. You run the Ubuntu 22.04 image on that instance and pay the hourly rate for the size you pick.
The Ubuntu 22.04 software carries no license fee, so no software charge applies. Hourly billing tracks running time only. A stopped instance stops accruing hourly charges, though AWS may still bill separately for attached storage and other underlying resources.
No. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is free from license fees regardless of how many images you run. Your cost comes only from the AWS EC2 instance hours for the type you select. You get 5 years of maintenance and security updates with the LTS release at no software charge.

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.

Usage instructions
For Ubuntu Cloud Guest it is suggested to manually configure your Security Group/Firewall settings. The 1-Click Security Group opens only port 22 so that you can access your instance via ssh using login 'ubuntu'. If you chose the 1-Click Security Group, you may change it later to enable applications using the AWS Console or API.

Perfect Distribution (& How to SSH)
Reviewed on Nov 29, 2022
Review from a verified AWS customer
All is running well - as expected - the only hidden hurdle: SSH Access.
If you had a standard RSA Key for your other instances, AWS always wants to use that first... don't. Instead create a new ed25519 key, start your instance with that and enjoy.

It's a terrible oversight that m6a instances are not marked as supported while it is supported for the Minimal Ubuntu 22.04 image.

Not sure why others had issues with SSH.
I was able to launch new image and SSH immediately with key pair I created during launch.

Problem to access ssh

Review from a verified AWS customer
After several attempts configuring instances for arm and x64, it has not been possible to access the instance via ssh to port 22 with the user "ubuntu". We already verified the correct configuration of the security group.
