Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 image with the GigaOps STIG Console. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, from small burstable instances to large compute, memory, storage, and GPU machines. Your hourly software rate follows the instance you choose, so heavier instances carry higher rates. You run the instances you need and stop paying when they stop. AWS infrastructure charges are billed separately by AWS. Select the instance size that fits your workload's compute, memory, and performance requirements.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to one running AWS EC2 instance of that type, billed per hour. You pay the software rate for that instance size while the instance runs. Larger instances carry higher rates. The rate covers the hardened RHEL 8 image and the GigaOps STIG Console on that single instance.
The software rate meters running instance-hours only. When you stop an instance, that hourly software charge stops too. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees, which AWS bills separately. You resume paying the software rate when the instance runs again.
No. The hourly rate covers only the software license for the hardened RHEL 8 image and GigaOps STIG Console. AWS bills the underlying EC2 compute, storage, and network usage separately. Your total cost combines the software rate plus AWS infrastructure charges for the instance you run.

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.
