You pay by the hour for Oracle Linux 8 with support, billed per running EC2 instance. Pricing has no fixed tiers or commitment. Instead, each rate maps to a specific EC2 instance type you choose. The options span several instance families: general purpose (m5, m5a, t3, t3a), compute optimized (c5, c5a, c6a, c6i), and memory optimized (r5, r5a, r6a, r6i). Within each family, sizes range from nano and micro up to 48xlarge and bare metal. Your hourly cost scales with the size and family you select, matching the compute resources that instance provides.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly rate cover beyond the EC2 instance itself?
The hourly rate covers the Oracle Linux 8 software and support provided by Arara Solutions. You pay this rate on top of the underlying AWS EC2 charge for the instance you run. Contact the vendor to confirm what support inclusions apply to your instance.
Am I charged the hourly software rate when my instance is stopped?
The software charge meters running instance-hours. When you stop an instance, the hourly software rate stops accruing. Note that AWS may still bill for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but that is separate from the Oracle Linux 8 software rate.
What counts as one billable unit for this product?
One billable unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you select, measured per hour. Each instance you launch bills independently at the rate for its instance type. Running more instances multiplies your hourly cost by the count of active instances.
