This is my first post on an Amazon Lightsail WordPress deployment. Amazon Lightsail is the Amazon AWS service that simplifies application development in the cloud or website creation and deployment. Providing a fixed cost solution on AWS infrastructure. For me this was the perfect fit. I already use other AWS infrastructure and I am learning about cloud technologies on AWS. So it made sense for me to build my website on AWS as well.
