The official Rocky Linux 9 image for aarch64 (ARM) with LVM
Overview
This image is built using LVM for the root disk. Boot partitions are stored outside the LVM. To grow the LVM, use cloud-init to run a script similar to this example: growpart /dev/nvme0n1 5 lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/rocky-root xfs_growfs / This kickstart generates this image: https://git.resf.org/sig_core/kickstarts/src/branch/r9/Rocky-9-EC2-LVM.ks Rocky Linux is a free, open, community enterprise operating system designed to be 100% bug-for-bug compatible with the top upstream enterprise Linux distribution.

Dimensions summary
The software itself is free. You pay only the hourly rate tied to the AWS instance type you run it on. Each dimension maps to a specific aarch64 (Arm-based) instance size, billed per hour. Pricing scales with the compute resources you choose. Smaller sizes like t4g.nano cost less per hour, while larger sizes like metal-48xl instances cost more. Categories cover general purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and high-performance computing families. You select the instance that fits your workload, then pay by the hour for as long as it runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Rocky Linux is free. The listing charges no software license fee. You pay only the hourly rate for the AWS instance type you run it on, plus any underlying AWS infrastructure and storage costs billed separately by AWS.
Since the software carries no license fee, stopping an instance halts the hourly instance charge for compute. You are billed per hour only while the instance runs. Stopped instances may still accrue AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those come from AWS, not this listing.
Each dimension maps to one specific aarch64 (Arm-based) EC2 instance size, such as t4g.nano or c8g.metal-48xl. One unit equals one running instance of that size, billed per hour. Larger instance sizes carry more compute and memory, so their hourly rate is higher.

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.
