Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the AWS EC2 instance you run this software on. There is no upfront commitment; billing follows actual usage. The dimensions list many instance types across families like c, m, r, t, and generations c3 through c7 and m3 through m7. Larger instance sizes carry higher hourly rates to match added compute capacity. You choose the instance that fits your traffic and performance needs. Each instance type is priced independently, so cost scales with the size and family you select. The software itself bundles Advanced WAF, LTM, IP Intelligence, and Threat Campaigns.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Hourly software charges apply only while the instance runs. A stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue hourly software fees. Note that AWS may still bill for attached storage and other underlying resources while the instance is stopped, but the software license meters running time only.
Each hourly rate covers the software running on your chosen EC2 instance. It bundles Advanced WAF, Local Traffic Manager, IP Intelligence, and Threat Campaigns. Advanced WAF adds application and API protection, bot defense, and Layer 7 DoS mitigation. LTM adds load balancing and traffic management.
Yes. Each instance type is priced independently, so your hourly rate follows the instance you actually run. Switching to a family or size with more compute capacity raises the hourly rate for those hours. There is no manual upgrade step; the rate matches whatever instance is running.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
