Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a STIG-hardened Oracle Linux 8 image running on ARM-based EC2 instances. Pricing is not tiered by feature. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, and your hourly rate depends on which instance you choose. Options span general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and high-performance families across many sizes, from small (medium, large) up to metal instances. Larger instances with more compute, memory, or storage carry higher hourly rates. You select the instance that matches your workload and pay only for the hours you run.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get a STIG-hardened Oracle Linux 8 image built for ARM-based processors. The image applies industry hardening frameworks like STIG and NIST as a baseline security configuration. Each dimension runs that same image on a specific EC2 instance type, so the hourly rate reflects the compute, memory, and storage of the instance you select.
The software rate meters running time. When you stop an instance, the hourly software charge stops accruing. Underlying AWS costs, such as storage for the stopped instance, may still apply separately. You pay the listed software rate only for the hours the instance actually runs.
This listing bills on usage. There is no upfront commitment. You choose an instance type, launch it, and pay the matching hourly rate for each hour it runs. This suits variable workloads where you start and stop instances as needed rather than running continuously.

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.
