Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a HIPAA Compliant Rocky Linux 9 virtual machine, hardened using STIG and NIST frameworks. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, so you only choose the hardware size that fits your workload. The hourly rate rises as you move to instances with more CPU, memory, storage, or GPU capacity. General-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, GPU, and bare-metal families are all available. Pricing scales with the instance you select, and you can stop or change instances as needs shift. No upfront commitment applies to this usage-based model.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly unit covers one running virtual machine of the selected EC2 instance type. The machine runs HIPAA Compliant Rocky Linux 9, hardened with STIG and NIST frameworks. You are billed for each hour the instance runs, matched to the size and family you pick.
The software fee meters running time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Underlying AWS storage costs for the volume may still apply while the instance is stopped. Charges resume when you start the instance again.
Your hourly rate follows the instance type you run at any given time. Moving to an instance with more CPU, memory, storage, or GPU raises the hourly rate. Switching back lowers it. Only the instance you actively run is billed, so changes take effect immediately.
