AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for AlmaLinux 10, priced per Amazon EC2 instance type you run. Each dimension maps to one specific instance size within a family, such as general-purpose (m-series), compute-optimized (c-series), memory-optimized (r-series and x-series), storage-optimized (i-series, d-series), and accelerated-computing (g-series, p-series, trn, dl, inf). Pricing scales with the instance you select: larger sizes within a family carry a higher hourly rate. You choose the instance that fits your workload, and the software charge is added to your AWS compute cost. There is no upfront commitment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover for AlmaLinux 10?
Each unit is one running Amazon EC2 instance of the type you select, billed per hour. The rate covers the AlmaLinux 10 software on that specific instance size. You pay separately for the underlying AWS compute. Each running instance meters its own hourly software charge.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or powered off?
The software charge meters running instance-hours only. A stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue the hourly software fee. Underlying AWS storage costs for the volume may still apply, but those are separate from this listing's software charge.
How does my bill change if I run a larger instance type?
Each instance type maps to its own hourly rate. Larger sizes within a family carry a higher rate. If you switch to a bigger instance, the new rate applies from the hour you run it. Running several instances bills each one independently and adds them together.
