LightSail

A very simplified EC2 management console

  • Makes using EC2 WAY easier
  • It’s AWS’ try to target customers who search a simple web hosting solution (primarily).
  • Pick a goal, and create the infrastructure for that goal
  • gives you even less configuration options than Elastic Beanstalk
  • Makes you focus on tasks
    • ex. If you want to host a WordPress application, LightSail gives you this specific use case. Then LightSail can launch an EC2 instance with WordPress pre-installed on it
