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 for this hardened Debian image running Docker. Pricing is billed per running instance, based only on the EC2 instance type you select. Each dimension maps to one AWS instance type, so your rate scales with the compute size and family you choose. General-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage, GPU, and high-memory instance families are all supported. Larger instances and specialized families carry higher hourly rates. You run only what you need, with no upfront commitment. Charges accrue for each hour an instance stays active.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I get for the hourly rate on a given instance type?
You get a Debian 13 image running Docker, hardened to STIG security recommendations. The hourly rate covers the software on one running EC2 instance of the type you select. Compute, memory, and storage specs come from the AWS instance type itself.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or paused?
Software charges accrue only while an instance runs. Stopping an instance halts the hourly software charge. Note that underlying AWS storage or other resources may still bill separately through AWS, even when the instance is stopped.
Does the software rate change with the size or family of instance I pick?
Yes. Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type. Your hourly charge is set by the type you select, so switching to a larger size or a different family changes the rate. You are billed only for the instance types you actually run.
