Frequently Asked Questions
How does AWS Systems Manager pricing work?
Many Systems Manager features are available at no additional charge, but priced features include just-in-time node access, OpsCenter, AppConfig, Parameter Store advanced usage, Automation, and Distributor usage for non-AWS packages. Registering hybrid and multicloud nodes is free since AWS retired the Advanced Instances Tier on June 30, 2026.
What does this Systems Manager calculator exclude?
It excludes country-specific Incident Manager SMS and voice rates, downstream charges from other AWS services invoked by runbooks, and broad AWS data transfer tables outside the explicit Systems Manager rates published for Automation and Distributor.
When are Parameter Store API interactions billed?
Standard parameters have no additional charge for standard throughput. Advanced parameter interactions are billed, and when higher throughput is enabled, both standard and advanced parameter API interactions are billed at the published per-10,000 interaction rate.
Which Systems Manager features are free?
AWS lists several Systems Manager features with no additional charge, including Application Manager, Maintenance Windows, Compliance, Inventory, Run Command, State Manager, Fleet Manager, hybrid and multicloud node registration, and Session Manager access to EC2 instances.
