AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
This listing is the Rocky Linux 10 operating system, offered at no software cost. You pay nothing for the software itself. Pricing is organized entirely by AWS EC2 instance type, billed per hour. Each dimension maps to a specific instance, such as general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, or GPU and accelerated families. You choose the instance that fits your workload size and performance needs. Larger instances carry higher hourly rates because they provide more compute, memory, or storage. Your cost scales with the instance you select and the hours you run it.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly charge cover, and am I billed for the software itself?
Each hourly charge maps to one running AWS EC2 instance of the type you select. The Rocky Linux software carries no license fee. Your hourly rate reflects the instance size and family only. You pay for compute capacity as you run it, not for the operating system.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or paused?
Hourly software charges apply only while an instance runs. A stopped instance stops accruing hourly charges. You may still owe underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but the per-hour metering counts running time only. Cost resumes when you start the instance again.
What drives my cost when I move between instance types?
Cost is driven entirely by the instance type you select and the hours you run it. Families like compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and GPU instances carry different hourly rates. Switching to an instance with more compute, memory, or storage raises your hourly rate. Running fewer hours lowers your total.

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.
