Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS image, billed per running EC2 instance. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each rate maps to a specific EC2 instance type you choose at launch. Options span general purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage, GPU, and high-memory families in sizes from nano to metal. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or storage carry higher hourly rates. Your total cost scales with the instance size you select and the number of hours it runs. You can stop instances to stop hourly charges.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly rate covers the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS software running on one EC2 instance of the type you pick. The image comes as a minimal install. The rate is only the software charge. Underlying AWS compute, storage, and data transfer fees are billed separately by AWS.
The hourly software charge applies only while the instance runs. When you stop an instance, the hourly software charge stops. Stopped instances may still accrue AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but the software itself meters running hours only.
Each instance type maps to its own hourly rate. Types with more CPU, memory, or storage carry higher hourly rates. Switching to a larger type raises your hourly charge for the hours it runs. The change takes effect when you launch the new instance type.
