Does AWS RHEL EC2 billis per second or per hour?
So If I run an ec2 for 30min, will it be billed for just 30 min? or an hour?
I've seen that aws supports per-second billing for linux, is it applicable for RHEL too? As it has seperate cost assositat with it.
Also using Spot Instances.
So in summery will I be billed by hour or by seconds?
According to faq
https://aws.amazon.com/partners/redhat/faqs/
Whether it is on demand of spot instances
Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Amazon EC2 is offered at either a flat, hourly rate with no commitment (On-Demand or Spot Instances) or through a one-time, upfront payment (Reserved Instances). Both purchase options include Amazon EC2 compute charges and Red

I am appearing for AWS CCP tomorrow , I thought Windows EC2 instances are billed per hour but this confused me. Can anyone help me understand the difference between Windows Ec2 instance and Windows based Ec2 instance is the question wrong
Amazon EC2 instances running Windows were historically charged per hour.
However, they are now charged per-second.
As written in your screenshot: "Windows based EC2 instances used to follow pay-per-hour pricing earlier."
See: Understand Amazon EC2 instance-hours billing
Another link would be the official documentation for the on-demand EC2 pricing stating:
Pricing is per instance-hour consumed for each instance, from the
time an instance is launched until it is terminated or stopped. Each
partial instance-hour consumed will be billed per-second for Linux,
Windows, Windows with SQL Enterprise, Windows with SQL Standard, and
Windows with SQL Web Instances, and as a full hour for all other
instance types.
I am new to AWS and I am confused about the usage limits for EC2 instances. I am a free tier user. I want to use p2x.large and I have submitted a request for limit increase. If it gets approved and I use it, will I be charged? Is there is limit up to which it is free?
To cite the official website:
AWS Free Tier includes 750 hours of both Linux and Windows t2.micro
instances each month for one year for new AWS customers. To stay
within the Free Tier, use only t2.micro instances.
You can read that on this page. The answer to your question is thus yes, you will be charged if you use a p2x.large instance.
AWS free tier include only t2.micro and t3.micro EC2 instances.
In this link, AWS explains that:
For Linux:
750 hours per month of Linux, RHEL, or SLES t2.micro or t3.micro instance dependent on region
and, for Windows instances:
750 hours per month of Windows t2.micro or t3.micro instance dependent on region
I made a free tier server on my account and configured it there. Then I had to shift the server to my client's account I made an image of that server and copied it to my client's account so that I wouldn't have to configure all of it again. Turns out it kept all the configurations EXCEPT the free-tier one.
So is there a way for me to make this ec2 instance free tier? Or do I have to build a free tier ec2 from scratch again?
Launch the instance in free tier using AMI(Image of the) as you already have the AMI with you.
And there is no way to move existing instance to free tier,just terminate it after launching the new one in free tier.
The AWS Free Tier is a billing discount.
For Amazon EC2, it provides:
750 hours per month of Linux, RHEL, or SLES t2.micro or t3.micro instance dependent on region
750 hours per month of Windows t2.micro or t3.micro instance dependent on region
So, each month, any usage that matches the above is not charged (up to the appropriate number of hours). This means you could run one Linux instance for an entire month, or two instances for half a month, or even 30 instances for 1 day.
You cannot nominate specific resources to be included in the Free Tier. It is calculated based upon total usage, so might cover multiple EC2 resources.
I'm new to AWS and just started to use AWS EC2 instances. I feel a lit bit confused of the free tier pricing. It says I can use 750 hours of EC2 freely per month. But it still charged me when my EC2 running hour is 428 hours. Is this billing related to other services?
Is there any changes for "traffic" when using basic version of EC2 instance, by basic I mean:
750 hours per month of Linux, RHEL, or SLES t2.micro instance usage
Traffic: If we setup a server and there are some hits on my server then is there any charge for this setup. I am not using ELB, just EC2 instance with a server on it.
The full pricing for On-Demand Amazon EC2 instances can be found at: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/on-demand/
The AWS Free Usage Tier gives 750 hours per month of a t2.micro instance. This means you could run one instance for a full month, or two instances for half a month. Simply stop the instance(s) to stop the charges.
You can have this free usage tier for a Linux AND a Windows instance.
However, please note that there are additional charges that also apply:
Data Transfer: This is charged for data leaving the AWS Region going to the Internet. The free usage tier includes "15 GB of bandwidth out aggregated across all AWS services" in the first 12 months. The EC2 pricing page also says that the first 1 GB/month is free, but I'm not sure if they overlap.
EBS Volume storage: Elastic Block Store (EBS) runs the disks attached to your instance. The free usage tier includes "30 GB of Amazon Elastic Block Storage in any combination of General Purpose (SSD) or Magnetic, plus 2 million I/Os (with EBS Magnetic) and 1 GB of snapshot storage", so you will be charged if your disk storage exceeds this (which is likely if you run both a Windows and a Linux instance). This storage charge continues to apply when an instance is Stopped, but not when an instance is Terminated.
Bottom line: Stop or turn off things when you don't need them. You can also activate a billing alert to warn you when you have been charged some actual money.
Yes, there are varying charges for traffic into and out of your EC2 instance.
in very rough numbers, if you budgeted $0.01 per GB of traffic, you would come in under that, but the complete breakdown is here:
