Amazon Lightsail Nginx Blueprint

Amazon Lightsail now offers a new Nginx blueprint. This blueprint enforces Instance Metadata Service Version 2 (IMDSv2) by default and supports IPv6-only instances. You can create a Lightsail VPS with Nginx preinstalled with just a few clicks.

Lightsail allows you to quickly start on the cloud by selecting a blueprint and an instance bundle to build your web application. Instance bundles come with your preferred OS, storage, and data transfer allowance.

This new blueprint is available in all AWS Regions where Lightsail is offered. For more information on Lightsail blueprints, refer to the Lightsail documentation. For pricing details or to start your free trial, click here.
