CentOS Stream Version Comparison
CentOS Stream 9
Support Lifecycle (EOL): Maintained through May 31, 2027
Target Workloads: Modern cloud-native microservices, next-generation application builds, and environments testing future RHEL 10 platform readiness.
Value-Added Technical Enhancements
Spec-Driven Dynamic Performance Optimization
Upon first boot, the system automatically analyzes the underlying EC2 instance specs and dynamically applies tailored sysctl kernel adjustments, network buffer allocations, and disk I/O parameters.
Note: These automated adjustments provide a general-purpose, high-throughput cloud baseline. System administrators are encouraged to fine-tune specific kernel parameters according to their unique workload demands.
Automated Weekly Build Pipeline & Vulnerability Mitigation
Our continuous integration pipeline rebuilds and validates this AMI weekly, integrating the latest upstream security advisories and critical CVE patches to significantly minimize post-boot update overhead.
Baseline Security Hardening
Pre-configured with essential OS security baselines, a minimized default attack surface, and streamlined network access (OS firewall disabled by default).
Minimal Footprint by Default: To preserve upstream system purity, the avoracloud repository is disabled by default, and only amazon-ssm-agent is pre-installed out of the box.
Testing Notice:Packages are compiled from upstream source releases. We recommend evaluating packages in non-production environments prior to production deployment.

AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for this CentOS image, with no upfront commitment. The single price list breaks down entirely by AWS EC2 instance type. Each dimension maps to one specific instance size, from small general-purpose types like t2.nano and t3.medium to large compute, memory, storage, GPU, and bare-metal options such as c8i.metal-96xl or u7in-32tb.224xlarge. Your hourly software rate scales with the instance you choose, so more capable instances carry higher rates. You select the instance that fits your workload and pay only for the hours you run it.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly rate cover, and what is billed separately by AWS?
The hourly rate covers the CentOS software image from AVORA TECHNOLOGY. It does not include the underlying EC2 compute charge. AWS bills the instance-hour and any storage separately. You pay both the software rate and the AWS infrastructure charge for the instance type you select.
Am I charged the software rate when my instance is stopped?
The software rate meters running hours only. A stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Attached storage may still incur separate AWS fees while the instance is stopped, but the software license bills active running time.
How does my hourly cost change if I move to a more capable instance type?
Each dimension maps to one specific EC2 instance type. Switching to a larger or more specialized type applies that type's hourly software rate for the hours you run it. Larger compute, memory, storage, GPU, and bare-metal types carry higher rates than small general-purpose types.

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.
