Dimensions summary
You pay nothing for the Rocky Linux 8 aarch64 software itself. This listing is free. Billing is hourly and tied to the AWS ARM-based (aarch64) instance type you choose to run. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, from small general-purpose types up to large metal instances. Options span compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and graphics families. Your cost scales with instance size and family, since you pay standard AWS infrastructure charges for the instance you select. Pick the instance that fits your workload; the operating system adds no software fee.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The Rocky Linux 8 software carries no fee. Each hourly rate reflects the standard AWS charge for the ARM-based instance you launch. You pay for the compute capacity of that specific instance size and family, billed per hour it runs.
The operating system adds no software fee at any time. When an instance is stopped, you stop paying its hourly compute charge. Attached storage may still incur standard AWS storage fees. Billing for running time resumes when you start the instance again.
Each family targets a different workload. Compute-optimized types suit heavy processing. Memory-optimized types suit large in-memory data. Storage-optimized types suit high local disk needs. Graphics types suit visual and accelerated tasks. Your hourly cost follows the family and size you pick.

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.
