After reading many positive reviews of the AWS Lightsail VPS and Jamulus I decided to have a look a the basic product which comes in at an incredibly cheap $3.50 ( £2.50 UKP or there abouts). I've paid more for lousy coffee :-)
All went well following various useful guides on this forum, the problem came at Jamulus compile time. The compile process was failing random points. Reading various articles on the web it transpired that this can be caused by the fact that the basic Lightsail Ubuntu 20.04 install is initialised without swap space. I couldn't prove this so took a punt creating swap space. The following link is extremely informative regarding AWS Lightsail and swap space with respect to upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04
Hi, I live in Hampshire , near Basingstoke and the AWS server is in London, ping times to the AWS server are around 8 to 10 ms, which is pretty good but it can be a little erratic at times. I'm currently trying a n IONOS (1&1) virtual server as the it provides 2 vCores with 2Gb RAM and 80Gb's of memory for an INITIAL price of £2/month. Ping times are around the 10 to 12 ms slightly slower, but initially seems more stable. ../Steve

The link provides a useful breakdown of all the steps required and easy way of checking the swap been configured correctly.

I had that problem using Ubuntu20.04 on AWS but all worked fine on Ubuntu 18. What kind of ping times do you get? I come in around 20
