- cjsuk 9y agoAs someone who has used both and DigitalOcean, Lightsail performance is absolutely terrible compared to the above. It feels like you have perpetually run out of CPU credits.
- Sohcahtoa82 9y agoLightsail is just renamed t2 instances with storage and bandwidth bundled in. Also, last time I checked (which, granted, was the week Lightsail came out), you can't even check your CPU credit balance on a Lightsail instance. You also can't attach an EIP to a Lightsail instance. Lightsail is dumbed down to the point of basically being worthless. There's really no reason to use Lightsail over Digital Ocean.
- extra88 9y agoLightsail is a baby step into the AWS environment. Once you're in the AWS console and Amazon has your credit card number, a psychological barrier has been breached, making it much easier to start experimenting with their other offerings.
