Rocky Linux 9 from OpenLogic by Perforce, with enterprise support included.
Rocky Linux is a community enterprise operating system designed to be binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and is available at no cost. The charges associated with this product are for the support services described below, not for the operating system itself.
This is a Rocky Linux 9 (x86_64) image built with a minimum profile, which keeps the footprint and attack surface small. cloud-init, kdump and a serial console are preconfigured, the hybrid image boots on both BIOS and UEFI instance types, and ENA and SR-IOV enhanced networking are enabled. The root filesystem expands automatically on first boot, so instances can be launched at any volume size without a manual resize.
Because all OpenLogic Enterprise Linux images follow a templated approach which keeps our images as identical as possible, you can use the same deployment and QA processes across all instances, whether on-premises or in the cloud.
This image includes 9x5 weekday email support delivered by a team of US-based Enterprise Linux experts.
To request support, email image-support@openlogic.com from the address used to launch the instance, and include the image details, version and launch time.

See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for Rocky Linux 9 with Enterprise Support, billed through your AWS usage. Pricing is organized by EC2 instance type, so each dimension maps to a specific instance size and family (for example, general purpose, compute, memory, storage, or accelerated compute). Your hourly rate scales with the instance you run — larger instances carry a higher rate than smaller ones. There are no separate tiers or add-ons to select. You choose the instance that fits your workload, and the software charge applies on top of standard AWS infrastructure costs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly rate actually cover on top of my EC2 costs?
The hourly rate covers the Rocky Linux 9 software license and Enterprise Support. It applies per instance-hour on top of standard AWS infrastructure charges. Enterprise Support includes SLA-backed technical support delivered by Linux experts, access to a private repository with tested and signed packages, and patches for high-severity issues.
Am I charged the software fee when my instance is stopped?
The software charge meters running instance-hours. A stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue the hourly software fee. Standard AWS storage fees for the attached volume may still apply while the instance is stopped, but that is separate from the software license charge.
Why does the hourly rate differ across instance types like t3.micro and m6i.32xlarge?
Each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type. The software rate scales with the instance size and family you run. A small instance such as t3.micro carries a rate tied to that size, while a large instance such as m6i.32xlarge carries a rate tied to its larger footprint. You pay only for the instance you run.

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.
Subscribe to this product, then launch an instance from the AMI in your chosen region.
In the security group, allow inbound TCP port 22 from the address range you will connect from.
Select an EC2 key pair at launch. Password authentication is disabled on this image; access is by key pair only.
Connect over SSH as the user "rocky": ssh -i /path/to/key.pem rocky@<public-ip>
Use sudo for privileged operations. Direct root login over SSH is disabled.
Configuration notes:
The root filesystem expands automatically on first boot to fill the EBS volume, so no manual resize is required.
The OpenLogic public package repository is preconfigured and enabled.
OpenLogic support for this image includes 9x5, US-based email support.
