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 based on the EC2 instance type you choose to run this Adobe ColdFusion Windows image with FusionReactor. Pricing is usage-based, so charges accrue only while an instance runs. The many dimensions map to specific AWS instance families and sizes, including general-purpose (t3, t3a, m7i, m7a, m7i-flex), compute-optimized (c6i, c6a, c6id, c6in), memory-optimized (r6i, r6a, r7i, r7a, r7iz, r6id, r6in, r6idn, r6idn), and storage-optimized (i4i). Larger instance sizes carry higher hourly rates. Select the instance that fits your workload's compute, memory, and storage needs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I get when I run one hour of this ColdFusion Windows image?
You get a running EC2 instance loaded with Adobe ColdFusion 2023 on Windows plus FusionReactor for monitoring. The hourly software charge maps to the instance type you launch. The image is hardened and ready to deploy AWS services, and it can launch using provided CloudFormation templates.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or paused?
The hourly software charge meters only running instance time. When you stop an instance, the software charge stops accruing. Underlying AWS resources like storage may still bill separately while the instance is stopped. Charges resume once you start the instance again.
How does hourly, usage-based billing work as my workload grows?
You pay for actual instance-hours with no upfront commitment. Charges scale with how long instances run and which instance type you select. To handle more load, you can move to a larger instance size or run more instances, and each running instance meters independently by the hour.
