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 Rocky Linux 10 with vendor support, billed per running EC2 instance. There is no upfront commitment; charges accrue only while an instance runs. Each pricing dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, from small general-purpose sizes up to large memory-, compute-, storage-, and GPU-focused machines. The hourly software rate varies by instance type, so larger or more specialized instances carry different rates. This lets you match the support cost to the exact instance you deploy. AWS infrastructure charges for the instance are separate from this software rate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover for billing purposes?
Each unit is one running EC2 instance of the matching type, billed per hour. The rate covers the Rocky Linux 10 software image and vendor support for that instance. If you run several instances, each one meters its own hourly charge separately based on its instance type.
Am I charged the software rate when an instance is stopped?
The software rate meters running time only. A stopped or terminated instance does not accrue this hourly software charge. Note that AWS may still bill separate storage fees for a stopped instance, but those charges are distinct from the Rocky Linux 10 software rate.
What support do I get with the hourly rate, and how do I request it?
The rate includes vendor support for the Rocky Linux 10 image. To open a support ticket, you submit a request with your AWS subscription ID and the product name, and a representative follows up. Support applies across every instance type you run under this listing.

The security the UI provided was commendable. Our company wanted to make it a point that personal and official data shouldn't be merged so we needed the support too which has proved to be greatly helpful as Linux was not the native OS for them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think some more languages could be incorporated, a lot of team members don't have English as their first language. The rates are reasonable so I think they've got it covered in that section.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I mentioned, we wanted to privatize official data so that there are no mixups. We saw an initial dip in productivity but we're back up and running now.

What do you like best about the product?
I have been a Linux user, a long time but this has been a great step up in terms of functionality and professional use. There are bugs in every software but the FAQs and the support engineers have been helpful to implement Linux on other team members' systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The compulsion of root access was a major throw-off to myself and my team members as that causes a lot of ambiguity and mistrust with the software. I'm sure this could be worked upon, going forward. The platform flexibility and customizability can be boosted as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using it as a virtual machine so that all the personal data and professional data has a line in between. We used the support for the folks coming onto this OS for the first time and drew up a long-term contract for the same.
