Comparativa

Amazon es un servicio costoso. Yo utilizo uno mucho mas barato en Europa llamado netcup.de en donde un VPS con 2Gb RAM, 20Gb SSD y 40TB transfer cuesta 2.43 euros al mes, en amazon un servicio similar estaria en el orden de 10$ solamente con 3 Tb de transferencia.

Realizando una consulta mas profunda sobre este servicio LightSail, es perfecto para todo el manejo de plataformas web, a baja escala de consumo. Los costos frente a estos beneficios son tambien por demanda, sin embargo, el plan Standar es una plan que genera un aproximado 0.0047USD/h.

Si se mantiene una instancia base encendida por 744 horas (31 dias), hace referencia a 3.5USD/mes. Es super practico, para proyectos universitarios, empresas pequeñas, blogs, etc.

Excelente este servicio de AWS, no lo conocía. Estoy realizando pruebas para migrar mis sitios de WorkPress

Mas claro con la comparativa 😃

el precio que cobra amazon puede ser muy bueno para aplicaciones que inician pero para cosas medianas a grandes si ya es un poco considerado sobre todo por el storage y transferencia.

En nuestro proyecto usamos Elasticbeanstalk con EC2, y es caro. Esta interesante esto de Ligthsail, solo me quedo con la duda de en que escenarios es mejorar usar y cuando no. Y si existe algún integración continua también para conectar con Ligthsail.

En una comparativa de costos, el plan más económico de Lightsail ofrece por $3.50 1 TB de transferencia mientras que la misma capacidad en EC2 puede salir por más de $90

Tienes una IP estática asignada a ti.(Al momento de reiniciar la instancia la IP publica varia, por lo tanto debes configurar la IP estática).

Excelente componente!

Podre usar Lightsail para publicar un servicio de correo y pagina basado en la caracteristica del precio mas barato ¿? lo digo porque mirando los precios es mas barato que alquilar en un proveedor de servicios de hosting.

interesante los precios ofrecidos . amazon siempre rompiendola con sus precios

Es un excelente servicio para aplicaciones de bajo recursos pero que requiera mayor transferencia

Esto es lo que te ofrece Lightsail:

El costo de los CPUs depende del número que elijas.
Tienes almacenamiento SSD.
Te ofrece Networking y transferencia de datos.
Incluye manejo de DNS.
Tienes una IP estática asignada a ti.
Tienes acceso a otros servicios de AWS

Excelente información!!
