Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened Debian 12 image running Docker. Pricing is usage-based, with no upfront commitment. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, from small general-purpose sizes to large compute, memory, storage, and accelerated options. The hourly software rate you pay depends on the instance type you launch. Larger or more specialized instances carry different rates than smaller ones. You choose the instance that fits your workload, and billing scales with the hours you run and the instance you select.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get a Debian 12 virtual machine with Docker installed and hardened for security. Each dimension maps to one AWS EC2 instance size. The software runs on that instance, so the compute capacity, memory, and storage match the EC2 type you launch.
The hourly software rate meters running time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the software charge. Note that AWS may still bill underlying resources like attached storage while the instance is stopped. Charges resume when you start the instance again.
Hardening is built into every instance type at no separate line item. The image is configured to recognized secure-configuration standards. Your bill reflects the hourly software rate for the EC2 instance you choose, not a separate charge for the hardened configuration.
