Amazon Lightsail Memory-Optimized Instances

Amazon Lightsail now offers memory-optimized instance bundles with up to 512 GB memory, available in 7 sizes, for both Linux and Windows OS, and various application blueprints including WordPress, cPanel & WHM, Plesk, Drupal, Magento, MEAN, LAMP, Node.js, Ruby on Rails, Amazon Linux, Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, AlmaLinux, and Windows. These instances are ideal for memory-intensive workloads such as in-memory databases, real-time big data analytics, in-memory caching systems, HPC applications, and large-scale enterprise applications.

What to do

  • Explore the new memory-optimized instance bundles in the AWS Management Console.
  • Select the appropriate bundle size and OS/application blueprint for your workload.
  • Create instances using the new bundles to leverage high RAM-to-vCPU ratios.
