You pay by the hour for this hardened AlmaLinux 9.3 image. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, so your rate depends on the instance you launch. Options span many families, including general purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, GPU, accelerator, and high-memory instances. Sizes range from small shared instances up to bare-metal and multi-terabyte configurations. Larger or more specialized instances carry higher hourly rates. Software charges apply only while an instance runs, alongside the underlying AWS infrastructure cost. You choose the instance that fits your workload and scale up or down as needed.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one billing unit mean for this hardened AlmaLinux image?
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you select, billed per hour. Each instance you launch meters separately. The dimension name matches the AWS instance type, so a t3.medium and an m5.xlarge each carry their own hourly software rate while running.
Am I charged the hourly software rate when my instance is stopped?
The software charge applies only while an instance runs. Stopped or terminated instances do not accrue software fees. You may still pay AWS for attached storage on a stopped instance, but the hardened image meters running hours only.
How does my bill change if I run several instance types at once?
Each running instance bills independently at its own hourly rate, then all charges add together on one invoice. Larger or specialized instances carry higher hourly rates. Total software cost tracks how many instances run and which types you choose, alongside the underlying AWS infrastructure charge.
