Amazon Lightsail Compute-Optimized Instances

Amazon Lightsail now offers compute-optimized instance bundles with up to 72 vCPUs. These new instance bundles are available in 7 sizes with both IPv6-only and dual-stack networking types. All Lightsail blueprints are supported, including Linux and Windows OS and application blueprints.

These high-performance instances are ideal for compute-intensive workloads such as batch processing, distributed analytics, high-performance web servers, scientific modeling, dedicated gaming servers, ad serving engines, video encoding, and CPU-intensive machine learning inference applications.
