Amazon Lightsail Instance Updates

Amazon Lightsail now offers three larger instance bundles with up to 64 vCPUs and 256 GB memory. These new instance bundles are available with Linux operating system (OS) and application blueprints, including WordPress, cPanel & WHM, Plesk, Drupal, Magento, MEAN, LAMP, Node.js, Amazon Linux, Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, AlmaLinux, and Windows. They support both IPv6-only and dual-stack networking types.

These new bundles enable you to scale your web applications and run more compute and memory intensive workloads in Lightsail. They are ideal for general purpose workloads that require the ability to handle large spikes in load. You can use these new bundles for web and application servers, large databases, virtual desktops, batch processing, enterprise applications, and more.

What to do

  • Explore the new instance bundles for your workloads.
  • Create instances using the new bundles with pre-configured Linux OS and application blueprints.
  • Scale your applications to handle larger workloads.
