AWS customers can now use the AWS Console Mobile App to access and manage Amazon Lightsail resources, including instances, containers, databases, networking, storage, snapshots, domains, and DNS, directly from their mobile devices. To begin, users can navigate to the Services tab in the app and select Lightsail.
The AWS Console Mobile App allows users to monitor and manage a variety of AWS resources and receive push notifications to stay updated while on the move.
It supports biometric authentication, ensuring secure and seamless sign-in. Lightsail provides user-friendly VPS instances, databases, storage, and more, all at a predictable monthly rate.
For AWS services not directly supported in the mobile app, customers can still reach the full AWS Management Console through an in-app browser—eliminating the need for separate logins or switching between apps.
Amazon Lightsail is a simplified cloud platform offered by AWS that is designed to make it easy for developers, small businesses, and beginners to launch and manage virtual private servers (VPS).
It provides a user-friendly interface and pre-configured development stacks, allowing users to deploy applications like WordPress, LAMP, and Node.js quickly without needing deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure.
Lightsail includes features such as compute instances, managed databases, container services, storage, networking, and static IP addresses—all bundled into a predictable monthly pricing model.
While it abstracts much of the complexity of traditional AWS services like EC2 and VPC, Lightsail is built on the same powerful AWS infrastructure, ensuring reliability, scalability, and integration with other AWS services when needed. It’s ideal for simple workloads, websites, web applications, and small business tools.
I have created some demo YouTube videos for setting up a Virtual Machine, Object Storage and a Database. There is also a detailed article on how Lightsail Containers are an affordable and easy to use option for deployment workload in AWS.
