Dimensions summary
The software itself is free to use. You pay only for the AWS EC2 compute you run it on. You pick between two instance types: m5.2xlarge and t3.2xlarge. Both are billed hourly, so cost scales with how long you keep the node running. The instance types differ in how AWS provisions compute and network resources, letting you match the validator node to your performance needs. There are no software license fees, tiers, or add-ons — the two options are simply different hosting sizes for the same validator node.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The vendor recommends 4 CPU cores with 8 threads, 1TB NVMe SSD storage, and a 100 Mbps dedicated network connection on Ubuntu 22.04. Pick the m5.2xlarge or t3.2xlarge instance type that meets these needs. Your hourly cost reflects the AWS compute you provision.
Hourly charges apply while the instance runs. A validator must maintain high uptime, so you will typically keep it running continuously, and cost accrues each hour. Fully stopped instances stop hourly compute charges, though AWS storage fees for attached volumes may still apply.
Both m5.2xlarge and t3.2xlarge bill per hour of running time with no upfront commitment. They differ in how AWS provisions compute and network capacity. Your bill tracks actual hours run on whichever type you choose. There are no separate software license fees on top.

CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
