AWS Marketplace launches support for Amazon Lightsail

Today, AWS Marketplace announces support for launching select Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) on Amazon Lightsail. Customers who want simple, predictable pricing and a streamlined instance-creation experience can now easily deploy eligible AWS Marketplace AMIs on Amazon Lightsail in just a few clicks. Lightsail instance bundles include compute, storage, and a generous data transfer allowance at a fixed monthly price. Lightsail also offers managed databases, containers, load balancers, and more, making it easy for customers to scale their applications as they grow.

When subscribing to a supported AWS Marketplace product - including Microsoft Windows Server, Microsoft SQL Server Express, Ubuntu, cPanel & WHM, and Plesk - customers will now have the option to select Amazon Lightsail in addition to Amazon EC2. Selecting Lightsail takes customers to the Lightsail console with the selected AMI and region pre-configured, providing a path to deploy at a predictable monthly price in just a few clicks.

The "Launch on Lightsail" deployment option is available for eligible products in all AWS Regions where Lightsail is available. To get started, visit AWS Marketplace and subscribe to a compatible product. For more information about Amazon Lightsail, visit the Amazon Lightsail product page.
