Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for AlmaLinux 8 with support from Cloudfu. Each pricing line matches a specific Amazon EC2 instance type, such as general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage, or accelerated GPU families. The hourly rate reflects the size and capability of the instance you choose. Smaller sizes bill at lower hourly rates, and larger sizes bill more. You are not locked into a term or a fixed quantity. You select the instance type that fits your workload and pay only for the hours you run. Support and regular updates come included with each hourly rate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get the AlmaLinux 8 operating system pre-installed on the Amazon EC2 instance type named in that pricing line. The rate covers the software license, regular patches and updates, and Cloudfu technical support available 24 hours a day. You launch the image directly on AWS with one click.
The software rate meters running time only. When you stop an instance, the hourly software charge stops accruing. Separate AWS storage fees for attached volumes may still apply while the instance is stopped, but those are billed by AWS, not as part of this software rate.
Each instance type carries its own hourly rate tied to its size and capability. When you launch a different type, you pay that type's rate for the hours it runs. There is no commitment or fixed quantity, so you can move between types as your workload changes.
