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.

cloud-init
Cloud images are operating system templates and every instance starts out as an identical clone of every other instance. It is the user data that gives every cloud instance its personality and cloud-init is the tool that applies user data to your instances automatically. Including datasource and module references, and plenty of examples. While cloud-init started life in Ubuntu, it is now available for most major Linux and FreeBSD operating systems. For cloud image providers, then cloud-init handles many of the differences between cloud vendors automatically — for example, the official Ubuntu cloud images are identical across all public and private clouds.

Spot Ocean
Spot Ocean lets you reap the benefits of Kubernetes without worrying about infrastructure while gaining deep cluster visibility and dramatically reducing costs.
The key question is how to use containers without the operational overhead of managing the underlying VMs while also take advantage of the cost benefits associated with Spot Instances and multi-cloud.
Spot Ocean is built to solve this problem by managing containers in a “Serverless” environment. Ocean provides an abstraction on top of virtual machines allowing to deploy Kubernetes clusters without the need to manage the underlying VMs.
Ocean takes advantage of multiple compute purchasing options like Reserved and Spot instance pricing and failover to On-Demand instances whenever necessary, providing 80% reduction in infrastructure costs. Spot Ocean is a Serverless Compute Engine that abstracts the provisioning (launching), auto-scaling, and management of worker nodes in Kubernetes clusters.
