- Amazon Lightsail is an AWS service that offers pre-packaged tech stacks. You can use Lightsail to host a Wordpress site, a static website, a MEAN or LAMP stack, a database, and many other options. In this video, we overview many of Lightsail's features and how it compares to traditional Amazon EC2 infrastructure.

Better than Amazon course itself
I'm so happy that I found your youtube blog
EC2 isn't that bad, but the hardest part is actually getting to what you do need and deciding what you don't need. A lot of it is pretty straightforward but it's just named something specific for Amazon.
on x1.7 speed to watch all your videos! thank you for the free information sir
Glad you like them!
Wow, I'm and Ex-AWS person and was looking for some other perspectives on Lightsail... this is top notch.. Nicely done!
good video. I use LightSail for my customers, for me the main issue is that after you host more than 20 instance you seems to have issues adding the instance 21; especially for CloudFront. The other issue for me is the lack of DB firewall. And lastly, the LAMP package is outdated. What i like is that you can create RDS DB and use it with LightSail, same for SES, SQS, etc. Also, you can scale instances very easily and use a load balance.
Hi, how many users do you have and what time of web application are you hosting In lightsail? I'm planning to use (loadbalancer, 2 x 16gb ram lightsail instance, 8gb MySQL RDS) for my sms scheduling Laravel app with around 5k users or it's better to use easy? I reason I chooses lightsail because of the cost. Let me know what you think.
@@edgardorodriguez2176 16gb for 5k users? it's too much. you don't need like that specification for laravel application. normaly 2 gb ram instance enough for to handle thousand of users.
What issues are you having? You probably need to request a quota increase through a support ticket. They limit everything to start to prevent abuse but once you show actual need, they usually increase without issue
This was a great over view.. Watched this as ive never used Lightsail before which is funny as I am a SA Pro
Glad to help!
Very informative! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
Great explanation, thanks.
Thanks for such fantastic comparison, kindly enlighten us about DR portfolio of lightsail too.
Looks pretty good. Hosting wordpress looks to be most economical and low administration!
Absolutely! I've been using it to host my wordpress blog for a couple years now and no complaints!
thanks for the tutorial. quick question - is that $3.5/mo per website? what's the best solution for dozens of sites? thanks!
Can I use LAMP and Node on the same instance in Lightsail? How easy would it be to migrate from Lightsail to EC2?
Thank you , you really helped me in my interview prep 😀
Lets say I want to host an app + simple database. Wouldn't it be cheaper to host everything on a single EC2 instance instead of using Lightsail?
Of course this would require more maintenance work on my side and the architecture won't be as decoupled as in Lightsaild but in the end this should be cheaper because it's only a cost of EC2 instance right? Additional 15$/m for DB is too much.
What is the best for casino website with application casino?
All I want to know is... is it cheaper than EC2 to host small little tiny wordpress sites.
Which one is cheaper for a bog standard but higher spec server: 4 cores, 8gb ram, 1TB, etc?
Thnak you so much,
Which microphone are you using
is it good for wordpress ecommerce website?
Thank you
I'm always left worrying and wondering how much is "too much traffic"
😅 same with me

Can I install andriod emulator in it, if no, which rdp or vps server can I install andriod emulator?
Beautiful presentation 😍😍😍🤝🤝🤝
Hi, Nice tutorial, I have an issue with my Wordpress set up on lightsail server with cpanel.
For some reasons I can’t access my wp-admin page. It’s a newly installed Wordpress.
How do I go about this pls? Thanks
Looks straight forward from aws page. They even give you a link to admin. Username is 'user' for their demo app and password there is a command to execute to get one.
"Burstable" is NOT a unique feature of Lightsail....that exists for many EC2 instance types, as well. It really is not correct to describe that as a "LightSail" feature.

performance always seems to stink as if its a PC from 20 years ago.
