Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened Ubuntu 24.04 image running on x86_64 EC2 instances. There is no upfront commitment or fixed term. Each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, from small burstable sizes like t2.nano up to large memory-optimized and bare-metal machines. Your hourly software rate is tied to the instance type you launch. Larger or more powerful instances carry higher hourly rates. You choose the instance that fits your compute, memory, and storage needs, then pay only for the hours you run it.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hour includes a security-hardened Ubuntu 24.04 image. It applies CIS/STIG security baselines and Linux kernel runtime protection against 0-day exploits, privilege escalation, container escape, and rootkits. It also adds mandatory access control, file integrity checking, and encrypted DNS. These features apply regardless of which instance type you launch.
The software rate meters running instance-hours only. When you stop or power off an instance, the hourly software charge stops accruing. You still may owe separate AWS charges for storage attached to a stopped instance, but those are billed by AWS, not this listing.
Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type. Your software rate is set per instance type, so launching a larger memory-optimized or bare-metal machine carries a higher hourly rate than a small burstable size. Switching instance types changes your rate automatically at launch. Only the hours you run are billed.
