Financing for AWS Marketplace purchases
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
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.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the virtual machine, based on the AWS instance type you choose. The 25 options fall into three families. The t3 instances are general-purpose sizes, from small (t3.nano, t3.micro) up to t3.2xlarge. The m5 instances offer balanced compute and memory, scaling up to m5.24xlarge and bare-metal m5.metal. The c5 instances target compute-heavy work, up to c5.24xlarge and c5.metal. Larger sizes give you more CPUs and RAM, and the hourly rate rises with size. You can run OpenSees on hardware up to 96 CPUs and 384 GB RAM.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay per hour for one running virtual machine of the instance type you select. Each instance type maps to a set amount of CPUs and RAM. The largest sizes reach up to 96 CPUs and 384 GB RAM. One instance-hour is counted for each hour the machine runs.
Software charges meter running time only. When you stop the instance, hourly software charges stop accruing. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but the software licence bills only for hours the machine runs.
The t3 family is general-purpose and suits lighter or intermittent tasks. The m5 family balances compute and memory for mixed workloads. The c5 family targets compute-heavy analysis. You pick the family and size that fits your model, and the hourly rate reflects the resources allocated.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.
