Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the CIS Hardened Minimal Ubuntu image, billed per running instance. Pricing is organized by AWS EC2 instance type, so each dimension maps to a specific instance size and family. The software runs on Ubuntu 22.04 with CIS Level 1 hardening applied. Your hourly software cost scales with the instance you pick. Smaller general-purpose types like t2.micro or t3.nano sit at one end; large compute, memory, storage, and accelerated types such as metal and GPU instances sit at the other. Choose the instance type that fits your workload.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to one AWS EC2 instance type. You pay the software charge per running instance for each hour it runs. The rate matches the instance type you launch. Running two instances of the same type bills two hourly software charges at once.
The software charge meters running time per instance. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software fee. You may still pay separate AWS fees for storage tied to a stopped instance, but the software licence bills only while the instance runs.
Each instance type maps to a distinct hardware profile, and the hourly software rate follows the type you choose. General-purpose, compute, memory, storage, GPU, and bare-metal options are all available. Pick the type that matches your workload's CPU, memory, and accelerator needs.
