AMI pricing is hourly or yearly ?

Question

Hello,

I would like to use one of the NICE DCV AMI (Windows or Ubuntu) but when I try to subcribe it only propose a yearly price ?!

Is it possible to pay hourly and also, is it possible to choose instances. Sometimes, I develop proof of concept on low-end GPU, then I have to test it on more powerful GPUs ?

Or should I install an free AMI, then install NICE DCV on it ?

Regards

David

The DCV team maintains [several public AWS Marketplace DCV AMIs](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/seller-profile?id=74eff437-1315-4130-8b04-27da3fa01de1) that bundle the DCV server software in both Windows and Linux operating systems.

The team also provides a [DCV CloudFormation template](https://download.nice-dcv.com/cloudformation.html) to provision EC2 with NICE DCV on AWS.

Alternatively, you can also [install NICE DCV](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dcv/latest/adminguide/setting-up-installing.html) in your EC2 instance.

You can [change instance type](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-resize.html) for your EC2 instance
