Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened RHEL 8.7 image, with no upfront commitment. The price you pay depends on the EC2 instance type you launch. Each dimension maps to a specific instance type across families like general purpose (t, m), compute-optimized (c), memory-optimized (r, x, z), storage (d, i), accelerated computing (g, p, inf, trn, f), and high-memory (u) sizes. Charges scale with instance size, so larger instances cost more per hour. You run only the sizes you choose and pay for actual hours used. This software fee is separate from AWS infrastructure charges.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you select, billed per hour. The fee covers the hardened RHEL 8.7 image, including updates, firewalls, and network protocols. It does not include the underlying AWS compute, storage, or network charges, which AWS bills separately.
The software fee meters running instance-hours only. A stopped or paused instance accrues no software charge. You may still owe AWS for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but the hardened RHEL 8.7 license charges only for active hours.
Each running instance bills independently at its own hourly rate for its type. The charges add together on one invoice. Running more instances, or larger sizes, raises total cost. You can mix families and sizes and pay only for the hours each one runs.
