Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux 2023 AMI, with vendor support included. Pricing is not a set of feature tiers. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific Amazon EC2 instance type that runs the image. Your hourly rate follows the instance you choose, spanning general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage, GPU, and high-performance families. Larger instances within a family cost more per hour than smaller ones. You add this software charge on top of your standard EC2 infrastructure cost. Billing scales with runtime hours and the number of instances you run.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each unit is one running hour of one Amazon EC2 instance launched from this image. The dimension name matches the EC2 instance type, such as c7i.12xlarge or r7a.large. You pay the software rate for every hour that instance runs, multiplied by the number of instances.
The software fee meters running hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue this hourly software charge. You may still owe standard AWS charges for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but those are separate from this listing's software rate.
Two factors combine: which instance type you pick and how many hours you run it. The hourly rate is tied to the instance family and size you select. Running more instances or leaving them on longer both raise the bill. Each running instance is metered independently on the same invoice.
