Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you run. The six options—t2.nano, t2.micro, t2.small, t3.nano, t3.micro, and t3.small—reflect small instance sizes. Your hourly rate rises as you move to larger instances with more compute and memory. This usage-based model has no upfront license purchase; you pay only for the hours each instance runs. The Developer Edition runs on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution and is limited to these small instance types for evaluating Varnish Enterprise 6.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate covers the Varnish Enterprise 6 Developer Edition software license for the chosen EC2 instance type. AWS bills the underlying EC2 compute and any storage separately. You pay per hour each instance runs, with no upfront license purchase.
Software charges apply per running instance-hour. When you stop an instance, the hourly software charge stops accruing. AWS may still bill underlying storage for a stopped instance, but the Varnish license meters running time only.
No. The Developer Edition is limited to the six small instance types listed: t2.nano, t2.micro, t2.small, t3.nano, t3.micro, and t3.small. It is meant for evaluating Varnish Enterprise 6. Larger workloads require the production-grade images, which run on a wider range of instance types.

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.
