Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance size you choose, plus the software and support. Each dimension maps to one specific instance type, from small general-purpose machines like t3.nano up to large memory, compute, storage, and bare-metal options such as u7in-32tb.224xlarge. Pricing scales with the compute, memory, and storage capacity of the instance you select. There are no tiers or plans to commit to. You pick the instance that fits your Active Directory 2025 domain controller workload and run it as needed.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly rate covers one running EC2 instance of the size you selected, plus the Active Directory 2025 domain controller software and support. The charge maps to one virtual machine. Instance size sets the compute, memory, and storage you receive per hour.
The hourly software and support charge applies only while the instance runs. A stopped instance stops accruing that hourly charge. Underlying AWS storage for the instance's disk may still bill separately, since that is an AWS resource cost, not the software licence.
Yes. You can deploy multiple domain controllers, each on its own instance. Each running instance bills its own hourly rate for the size chosen. This supports replication between domain controllers and disaster recovery by keeping controllers in the cloud alongside on-premises ones.
