You pay by the hour for a hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 image configured to a CCN Intermediate Level compliance profile. Pricing is usage-based, so you are charged only for the hours each instance runs. Each dimension maps to a specific Amazon EC2 instance type, from small general-purpose sizes to large compute, memory, storage, GPU, and bare-metal options. The hourly software rate scales with the size and capability of the instance you select. You choose the instance type that fits your workload, and no upfront commitment is required.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one billing unit represent for this product?
Each unit is one hour that a single Amazon EC2 instance runs this hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 image. You pick an instance type, and each running instance meters its own hours. Running two instances doubles the hourly software charge for that period.
Am I charged the hourly software rate when an instance is stopped?
The software rate meters running hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Underlying AWS storage or other resource fees may still apply while the instance is stopped, but those are separate from this software rate.
How does the hourly software charge change if I move to a larger instance type?
Each instance type maps to its own hourly rate. Larger compute, memory, storage, GPU, or bare-metal sizes carry higher hourly rates than smaller general-purpose ones. Switching instance types changes the rate automatically for hours run on the new type. No upfront commitment is required.

Version release notes
Updated release of CCN Intermediate Level Compliant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
Utilizing hardened images necessitates a nuanced approach due to their advanced security configurations and access controls, which may require additional adjustments for compatibility with specific workflows or applications. These images are designed with enhanced security measures to minimize vulnerabilities, offering superior protection compared to baseline images without pre-configured security settings. However, integrating them seamlessly into your operations might involve collaboration with security experts or providers for customization, ensuring both robust security and operational functionality. This extra step, while requiring more initial setup, positions hardened images as a more secure and compliant foundation for deployments, ultimately offering a significant advantage over baseline images by saving time and resources in achieving a secure, compliant, and efficient infrastructure.
