Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened Rocky Linux 9 machine image. Pricing works on a usage basis, so you are billed only for the hours each instance runs. The single hourly software rate applies across a wide list of supported EC2 instance types. These types span general purpose, compute, memory, storage, accelerated, and high-memory families, from small sizes like t3.nano up to bare-metal and multi-terabyte options. Your cost scales with the instance size you choose and how long you run it. No upfront commitment or fixed term applies.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay one hourly software fee for the hardened Rocky Linux 9 machine image. This is the license charge for the operating system image itself. AWS bills the underlying EC2 compute, storage, and network separately. Together these appear on your AWS invoice.
The hourly software fee meters running time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the software charge. Note that stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those are separate from this listing's software rate.
You choose the EC2 instance type that fits your workload, from small sizes like t3.nano up to bare-metal and multi-terabyte options. Your total cost combines the software rate with the AWS compute charge for that instance type. Larger instances carry higher AWS compute costs.
