I don't see it. Did I miss the performance testing section?
- MaBu 10y agoThere are benchmarks on on VPSbenchmarks: http://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/posts/amazon_lightsail_1gb_is_no_match_for_10_vps_from_linode_do_vultr http://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/posts/amazon_lightsail_1gb_is_n... I'm not sure how reliable they are but if they are this doesn't seem good for AWS: >TLDR: Amazon Lightsail 1GB will melt down with less than 15% sustained cpu usage > >Okay then, experiment aborted. 25% sustained cpu usage is too much, all other VPS at the same price can handle that but maybe we're just over the limit, we moved traffic to another machine and let the Lightsail VM cool down for a few hours. >It should be noted that for $7, Vpsdime easily handles that traffic. >For less than $4, OVH "VPS SSD 1" can do the same.
- tyingq 10y agoIt will be interesting to see if Amazon changes that. I can see how it happened in the first place...basically reusing the same setup they use for a t2.micro. If they leave it as-is, I can imagine anyone using it for something non-trivial being highly disappointed.
- phildougherty 10y agoWhoops! Good catch. Performance comparison is coming in part 2. Sorry! Editing.
- tyingq 10y agoLooking forward to a performance comparison. I've heard there's a cap on the egress speed that's pretty low.
