    Did a quick unixbench

    Yeah, try this test 2x. My first score was 2000 and second one was ~900.. They have some limitations.. This article can be useful about this too http://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/posts/amazon_lightsail_1gb_is_no_match_for_10_vps_from_linode_do_vultr

    You've noticed that this is not EnterpriseEndTalk right? Perhaps AWS is fantastic for the Enterprise and that's great, but in the context of LET, so what?

    Personally I use the US East location of AWS for game servers because it has some of the best worldwide latencies of any data center in north east USA. Basically only matched by Steadfast (NJ) but their dedicated servers are extremely expensive. SoftLayer (DC) may be close too with latency but again way more expensive than AWS. Doesn't hurt that AWS and Steadfast are a couple of the most reliable hosts around too. (Luckily I don't need DDOS protection with the smaller game communities I host for).

    Edit. Btw, @sergsergiu I liked that article at vpsbenchmarks.

    rm_ said: Kindly what to react here to? USA only? Ubuntu only? 65 MB/sec disk? 2 MB/sec network? Everyone close down your DO and Vultr, this is premium shit right there. Underperforming, oversold and limited, but people are still gonna buy it, "cuz AMAZON".

    I was not suggesting a panic to close down our DO or Vultr instances (in fact I just re-doubled my vultr investment), but there is no doubt that all of the medium sized players (linode, vultr, DO, etc) are going to be re-evaluating a few things. Because with this new change, AWS now offers the one major thing that led people to DO (et al): a simple stable VPS with out all the hoopla of creating EBS/Complicated pricing/etc.

    Then LET shouldn't get its panties in a bunch over enterprise products. AWS doesn't want LE* business. Saying that people only pay up "cuz AMAZON" misses the mark entirely and demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of the target market.

    It's the same people who say Macs are expensive. You're not paying for the hardware. You're paying for everything else. If that isn't worth it to you, the beauty of a capitalist market is that there are plenty of other choices.

    Well, here's my opinions on it.

    Amazon Lightsail is a good try at getting people over to EC2. Lightsail uses the same infra as EC2.

    As for disk performance, it's piss-poor. I was getting 65 Mb/s on the thing. Only thing that's done worse is Microsoft Azure in my tests.
    The funny part is that even a VPS on the same infra (EC2) with SSD storage beat it with 100 Mb/s.

    "Lightsail includes everything you need to launch your project quickly – a virtual machine, SSD-based storage, data transfer, DNS management, and a static IP – for a low, predictable price."

    It isn't really a SSD if it's 65 Mb/s.

    Also, you have to assign static IPs manually. (5 static IPs per account)

    Lightsail is very well withing the low end of the spectrum, don't know why you can't see that.
