You pay by the hour for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 running on Amazon EC2. Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type, and the hourly rate covers the software support included with that image. Pricing scales with the instance you choose. Smaller shared-CPU types like the t-series cost less per hour, while general-purpose (m-series), compute-optimized (c-series), memory-optimized (r- and x-series), storage (d-, i-series), and accelerated (g-, p-series) types cost more as their size grows. You select the instance type that fits your workload, and billing tracks actual running hours.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly rate for each instance type actually cover?
The hourly rate covers the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 image running on that Amazon EC2 instance type, plus the software support included with the image. You choose one instance type, and the rate reflects its size and family. Underlying AWS compute and storage are billed separately by AWS.
Am I charged when my EC2 instance is stopped or paused?
The software charge meters running hours only. A stopped instance does not accrue hourly software charges. You may still pay AWS for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but that is an AWS fee, not the software charge on this listing.
How does the bill change if I switch to a larger instance type?
Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type with its own hourly rate. If you move to a larger type within a family, or to a higher-capacity family, the hourly software rate changes to that type's rate. Billing follows whichever type is actually running each hour.
