The price is the main attractive point. It is, in my opinion, much better than EC2 for virtual machines. So I, for sure, would recommend it. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. It's a very good solution.
First of all, I would definitely request everyone to be a little bit familiar with the terminologies that AWS is using because they are quite different from what other platforms use. So having a little bit of knowledge about load balancers and such would be helpful. Moreover, one has to have good knowledge of Linux shell scripting because Amazon Lightsail doesn't provide any kind of user-friendly interface to upload files. There are a lot of restrictions while uploading files, so it can be a bit difficult. That's one thing to keep in mind. Overall, I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. It still has some areas to improve, but overall, it's an eight.

This solution is still new in terms of containerized platforms. If you have your own vendor then Amazon may or may not support that. One of the biggest issues is the technology that is not supported on Amazon, which means that you can't migrate to the cloud. My advice for anybody who is considering this solution is that it is suitable for SaaS services. On the other hand, for IaaS, I would say that it shouldn't be used for financially critical data. The reason is that there is no security compliance. For example, your account information and confidential data should not be moved to this system. On the other hand, if it is analytics with simple, non-critical reports, then it is fine. Every cloud provider has its own plusses and minuses. In some areas, I would rate this solution a ten out of ten, while in other areas I would rate it a three. Overall, I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) is a kind of cloud computing service in which, rather than having to build and maintain their own infrastructure, a client is able to develop, run, and manage applications on a platform that is provided by a third-party provider. The provider hosts both software and hardware, freeing the client from having to install and handle them in-house.
