You pay by the hour for this virtual next-generation firewall, with billing tied to the AWS instance type you run it on. Two options are available: c5a.xlarge and c5.xlarge. Both are hourly usage-based dimensions, so your cost scales with how many hours each instance runs. The two dimensions reflect different underlying compute instance families rather than separate feature tiers. This pay-as-you-go structure lets you scale the firewall up or down to match your workload demand.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What difference between the c5a.xlarge and c5.xlarge dimensions affects my bill?
Both dimensions run the same firewall software billed per hour. The difference is the underlying AWS compute instance family you choose. Each instance type carries its own hourly rate. Your choice sets which rate applies, but the firewall capabilities remain the same across both.
Am I charged when the firewall instance is stopped or powered off?
Hourly software charges accrue only while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance does not accrue firewall software charges. You may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for the stopped instance, but the software license meters running hours only.
Can I scale this firewall up or down as my workload changes?
Yes. This usage-based model supports dynamic scale-up and scale-down. You launch more instances when demand rises and shut them down when it falls. You pay only for the hours each instance runs, so cost tracks your active workload.

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.
