A Quick Tool to run Apps in AWS Cloud
I think Amazon Lightsail is one of the best cloud computing solutions for small businesses and new projects. It's easy to use and deploy with just a few clicks.
PROSI like how easy is to deploy virtual machine instances, containers for web apps, and the network solutions offered for cloud computing.
CONSI think that Amazon Lightsail could offer additional virtual machines environments. Aside from that I believe Amazon Lightsail is great and is fulfilling its purpose.
Reason for choosing Amazon Lightsail
I believe Amazon Lightsail user interface is better.

Easy to deploy Amazon service that supports Wordpress
We used Amazon services for our web app, but when I was tasked with creating a new version of the local newspaper website with WordPress, I discovered LightSail. Once set up, it created a very basic WordPress installation. Securing it and dealing with caching was also easy as all of my colleagues were already familiar with Amazon's services. Bottom line is, if you want a WordPress website and you want to run it on Amazon servers, take a look at LightSail - it works great!
PROSThe service is easier to set up for someone just starting with Amazon hosting than their other services. I loved how fast LightSail was. It increased the performance of my WordPress setup and made the pages load much faster.
CONSIt is not a beginner's thing. If you want a simple WordPress and you don't want to have to write a line of code, a shared hosting is a better option.
Reasons for switching to Amazon Lightsail
All of our services were on Amazon servers and we decided it was time to move on from the shared hosting for that particular website.

A simple tool to deploy and manage servers
Deploying, managing and the pricing structure is much simpler to get compared to products like AWS ec2 and other such products.
CONSIt's quite disappointing that you have to pay to get better customer service.

My best choice for renting virtual servers
The most I like is the large variety of price planes Amazon Lightsail has.
CONSThe least I like is the SSH control for the servers is so annoying to set up with putty or any other software, also the documentation is not good for this part.
Reason for choosing Amazon Lightsail
I have chosen Amazon Lightsail because of the server's stability and pricing plans.
Reasons for switching to Amazon Lightsail
I switched because server's stability and pricing plans.
