You pay by the hour for this hardened Ubuntu 24.04 desktop image, billed per running instance. Pricing has no upfront commitment — you are charged only while an instance runs. The many dimensions are not tiers or feature levels. Each one maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, from small general-purpose sizes to compute-, memory-, storage-, and GPU-optimized families. Your hourly rate scales with the instance size and family you select. You choose the instance that fits your workload, and the software cost applies on top of the AWS infrastructure charge.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or powered off?
The software charge meters running instance-hours only. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software fee. Note that AWS may still bill underlying storage for a stopped instance, but the software licence charges for running time only.
What does one hourly unit map to for this desktop image?
Each hourly unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you selected. You are billed per hour, per active instance. Running two instances of the same type bills two hourly units. Each instance type maps to a set amount of vCPU and memory.
What is included in the software, and does the hourly rate cover AWS infrastructure?
The hourly rate covers the hardened Ubuntu 24.04 desktop image with GUI and RDP access. AWS charges its own separate infrastructure fee for the EC2 instance. Your total combines the software hourly charge plus the AWS compute cost for the instance type you pick.

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.
