AWS Lightsail and Saratoga Weather/Carter Lake Templates

I did a search for this and did not find anything. Has anyone done an implementation of the Saratoga Weather and Carter Lake templates on AWS Lightsail?

It looks like a viable platform at a reasonable cost using the LAMP stack.

Thanks
Mike

Mike,

I’ve been thinking along the same lines you have about migrating my Saratoga/CL template site to AWS Lightsail. Did you eventually take the plunge? If so, I’m eager to hear your thoughts and what the cost involved was.

Thanks,
Grant

I’ve not looked at Lightsail before but I’ve looked at a few AWS products over the years for various tasks and each time I come away with the feeling that there are cheaper ways of achieving the same thing.

For example, earlier today I was looking at S3 storage costs and whilst the cost of the storage I’m currently using from another provider (approx 1.1TB out of 2TB used) is roughly the same as the S3 offering for the same amount of storage, if I actually used all of the assigned 2TB from my current provider then S3 storage would be about 60% more expensive.
