Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for STIG Compliant Oracle Linux 9, with no upfront commitment. Pricing follows the EC2 instance type you choose to run the software. Each instance type is a separate hourly rate, so your cost scales with the size and family of the machine you select. Options span general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, GPU, high-performance computing, and large-memory instances. Larger instances within a family carry higher hourly rates than smaller ones. You match the instance type to your workload needs and pay only for the hours you use.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay for the pre-hardened Oracle Linux 9 software running on the EC2 instance you launch. The rate covers the STIG-hardened operating system image. Standard AWS infrastructure charges for the instance itself are billed separately by AWS. Support is available on demand from the vendor.
The software charge meters running instance-hours only. When you stop or power off an instance, the hourly software charge stops accruing. Note that AWS may still bill for attached storage on stopped instances, but that is separate from the software rate shown here.
Each rate maps to a specific EC2 instance type. Rates track the size and family of the machine, so a small general-purpose instance costs less per hour than a large GPU or high-memory instance. You pick the type that fits your workload and pay that type's rate.

Regarding Security Configurations
Utilizing hardened images necessitates a nuanced approach due to their advanced security configurations and access controls, which may require additional adjustments for compatibility with specific workflows or applications. These images are designed with enhanced security measures to minimize vulnerabilities, offering superior protection compared to baseline images without pre-configured security settings. However, integrating them seamlessly into your operations might involve collaboration with security experts or providers for customization, ensuring both robust security and operational functionality. This extra step, while requiring more initial setup, positions hardened images as a more secure and compliant foundation for deployments, ultimately offering a significant advantage over baseline images by saving time and resources in achieving a secure, compliant, and efficient infrastructure.
