In addition to the significant price drop, Lightsail has also increased the included SSD disk for many of its plans, and added two new larger memory options, 16GB and 32GB RAM, to its lineup. These features allow you to scale your web applications easier, and run more demanding workloads in the cloud.
With Lightsail, you can easily and quickly deploy your web workloads by using pre-configured OS and Application Stack templates, including CentOS (new!), WordPress, Magento, LAMP, and Windows Server. Lightsail’s intuitive management console and API makes running web workloads a breeze and enables you to scale applications with features like DNS, block storage, load balancers, and many more.
Amazon Lightsail is built on the same highly available and reliable AWS cloud infrastructure used by millions of customers.
