CentOS Stream 10 with XFCE GUI Desktop for ARM64 provides a ready-to-use graphical workstation on AWS.
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for the preconfigured XFCE desktop, upstream-built XRDP with Xvnc remote access, Firefox, automated instance-specific user setup, and support by Elm Computing.
Connect with an RDP client using the instance public IP address. Sign in as elm and use the EC2 instance ID as the initial password; change it after first login. For SSH, use ec2-user with the key pair selected at launch. Connection instructions are available at https://docs.elmcomputing.io/aws/x86/linux/login.html.

You pay by the hour for each running instance. Pricing maps to AWS ARM-based (Graviton) EC2 instance types, so your rate depends on the instance you launch. Options span general-purpose (m, t4g), compute-optimized (c), memory-optimized (r, x), storage-optimized (i, im, is), graphics (g5g), and HPC (hpc7g) families. Within each family, larger sizes carry higher hourly rates as vCPU, memory, and metal options increase. This hourly charge covers Elm Computing's support fee on the repackaged open source software; standard AWS infrastructure charges apply separately. No upfront commitment is required.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly charge cover, and what is billed separately?
The hourly rate covers Elm Computing's support fee on the repackaged open source software. This is CentOS Stream 10 with an XFCE desktop and a preconfigured user account. Standard AWS infrastructure charges for the EC2 instance and storage apply separately on your AWS bill.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or paused?
The software fee meters running instance-hours. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those are separate AWS charges, not the Elm Computing support fee.
Why do rates differ across instance types like t4g, c8g, r8g, and hpc7g?
Each rate maps to a specific ARM-based (Graviton) EC2 instance type. Compute-optimized (c), memory-optimized (r, x), storage-optimized (i, im, is), graphics (g5g), and HPC (hpc7g) families carry different specs. Larger sizes with more vCPU, memory, or metal options carry higher hourly rates.

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.

Usage instructions
Launch this ARM64 AMI on t4g.medium in a supported Region with an EC2 key pair. Allow TCP 3389 from your trusted client IP for RDP and TCP 22 from your trusted administration IP for SSH. Connect with an RDP client to the instance public IP as user elm; the initial password is the EC2 instance ID. Change that password after first login. For SSH, use ec2-user and the key pair selected at launch. See https://docs.elmcomputing.io/aws/x86/linux/login.html for general connection guidance.
