Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this CIS-hardened Rocky Linux 8 image, billed per running instance. Pricing is not fixed at a single rate. Instead, each rate maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type. The listing covers a wide range of instance families, from small general-purpose sizes like t2.nano up to large memory, compute, storage, and GPU-optimized options. As you select a larger or more specialized instance, the hourly software rate changes to match that instance class. You run only the instances you need, and hourly charges apply for the time each runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The software rate meters running instance-hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue this hourly software charge. Underlying AWS resources like attached storage may still bill separately through AWS. You pay the software rate only while the instance runs.
One unit is one hour that a single running EC2 instance uses this image. Each running instance meters its own hours. The rate depends on the EC2 instance type you launch, so a larger or specialized instance carries a different hourly software rate.
The image is built from a Rocky Linux 8 baseline hardened to CIS benchmarks, helping meet compliance frameworks like NIST, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. The hourly rate covers running the image. Separate technical support and migration services are offered by the vendor and require a direct quote.

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.
