You pay by the hour for this supported Ubuntu 26.04 image, with no upfront commitment. Billing is usage-based, so you are charged only while an instance runs. The many dimensions listed are not tiers or feature levels. Each one maps to a specific Amazon EC2 instance type, such as general-purpose (m-family, t-family) and compute-optimized (c-family) sizes. Your hourly rate depends on which instance type you launch. Larger instances within a family carry higher hourly rates. You can run any combination of these instance types and pay per running hour for each.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I actually get for each hourly rate, and what does the support cover?
Each hourly rate covers the Ubuntu 26.04 software image running on the matching Amazon EC2 instance type, plus vendor support. Contact the vendor for the specific support inclusions, since these details are documented in their support plans rather than the pricing table.
Am I charged the software fee when my instance is stopped or paused?
The software fee meters running hours only. A stopped or paused instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. You may still pay underlying AWS charges, such as storage for the attached volume, but the Ubuntu 26.04 software rate applies while the instance runs.
Why are there so many rates, and how do I pick which one applies to me?
Each rate maps to one Amazon EC2 instance type, not a feature tier. You pick the instance type that fits your workload's CPU and memory needs when you launch. The rate you pay follows that choice. Running several instance types at once bills each one separately per hour.
