Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are the usability and customer service.""The initial setup is pretty easy.""We use Amazon Lightsail for hosting security components in-house and AI modules.""In Lightsail, they simplified to do it in as few clicks as possible. So, around ten clicks, I have a virtual machine deployed."

"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature.""The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions.""The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research.""The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing.""Technical support from Jelastic is very good."

Cons
"Currently, there is limited support available while installing or configuring it, and resources are primarily available through community-contributed articles.""To improve, I feel the disk management is too basic. I can't easily partition the disk for the operating system. I have to follow the main configuration that is already set up in the template. To partition the disk, I would need to deploy the operating system first and then make changes, but it's not an ideal method. I would recommend improving the disk management.""I don't see this solution as enterprise-ready, for bigger companies like banks.""When you need to add some custom rules to Amazon Lightsail, the auto scaling feature is a bit difficult."

More Amazon Lightsail Cons →

"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution.""Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products.""For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows.""The backup functionality needs to be improved.""The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."

  • "Amazon Lightsail is a bit cheaper than Amazon EC2."
  • More Amazon Lightsail Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."
