Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux 2023 AMI, billed only while an instance runs. There is no single flat rate. Instead, the rate matches the EC2 instance type you choose. Each dimension maps to one instance type, spanning general-purpose, compute-, memory-, storage-optimized, GPU, machine-learning, and high-memory families across many generations and sizes. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or accelerators generally carry higher hourly rates. You select the instance type that fits your workload, then pay that type's hourly software rate on top of standard AWS infrastructure charges.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get the hardened ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux 2023 AMI, pre-built with recent updates and packaged for container workloads. The rate covers the software image for the EC2 instance type you launch. It maps to one running instance of that type, counted per hour.
The software rate meters running time only. A stopped or paused instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. You may still pay standard AWS fees for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but the image charge applies only while the instance runs.
Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type. The type sets the hourly software rate, and larger instances with more CPU, memory, or accelerators generally cost more per hour. This software charge adds to standard AWS infrastructure charges for the same instance. Both appear on one invoice.
