You pay by the hour for Windows Server 2019 with a security agent, billed per running instance. Each dimension maps to a specific Amazon EC2 instance type, so your rate depends on the size and family you choose. Prices scale with compute power: smaller instances like t3.nano or m1.small cost less per hour, while larger instances like m7i.48xlarge or metal types cost more. Families group by workload focus, including general purpose (m, t), compute optimized (c), memory optimized (r, x, z), storage (d, i), and accelerated computing (g, p, inf, trn). Hourly billing means you pay only while instances run.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I actually get when I select one of these hourly instance types?
Each dimension launches a preconfigured Windows Server 2019 machine image with a bundled security agent on the matching Amazon EC2 instance type. The instance size sets your compute, memory, and storage. The image includes updates, firewalls, and network protocols. You install and launch it with one click on AWS.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused?
Software charges apply per running instance-hour. When you stop an instance, the hourly software charge stops accruing. Stopped instances may still incur separate AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but the listing software meters only running time. Restarting resumes hourly billing.
Is this pay-as-you-go, or do I commit to a term upfront?
This is usage-based, pay-as-you-go pricing. You pay only for the hours each instance runs, with no upfront commitment or fixed term. If your workload runs occasionally, you pay only for those hours. Continuous workloads accrue charges every hour they stay running.
