What is Amazon Lightsail?

Amazon Lightsail is the easiest way to get started with AWS for developers, small businesses, students, and other users who need a simple virtual private server (VPS) solution. Lightsail provides developers compute, storage, and networking capacity, and it also provides capabilities to deploy and manage websites and web applications in the cloud. Lightsail includes everything you need to launch your project quickly–a virtual machine, solid-state drive (SSD)-based storage, data transfer, Domain Name System (DNS) management, and a static IP–for a low, predictable monthly price.
