About Amazon Lightsail
Amazon Lightsail provides a number of features designed to help make your project quickly come to life. Designed as an all-in-one cloud platform, Lightsail offers you a one-stop shop for all your cloud needs. Take a look to see how we can help you get started on the AWS infrastructure. Lightsail offers virtual servers (instances) that are easy to set up and backed by the power and reliability of AWS. You can launch your website, web application, or project in minutes, and manage your instance from the intuitive Lightsail console or API. As you’re creating your instance, Lightsail lets you click to launch a simple operating system (OS), a pre-configured application, or a development stack - such as WordPress, Windows, Plesk, LAMP, Nginx, and more. Every Lightsail instance comes with a built-in firewall allowing you to allow or restrict traffic to your instances based on source IP, port and protocol.
