Users can now run more demanding workloads on Lightsail, potentially improving application performance and scalability.
AI Impact Summary
Amazon Lightsail is introducing compute-optimized instance bundles with significantly increased CPU power (up to 72 vCPUs). This expands the platform's capabilities for demanding workloads like batch processing, machine learning, and high-performance web servers. Users should evaluate if their existing Lightsail applications can benefit from this increased CPU capacity, and consider migrating to these new bundles if needed.
Amazon Lightsail now offers compute-optimized instance bundles with up to 72 vCPUs. The new instance bundles are available in 7 sizes with both IPv6-only and dual-stack networking types. All Lightsail blueprints are supported with compute-optimized instance bundles, including Linux and Windows operating system (OS) and application blueprints. You can create instances using the new bundles with pre-configured OS and application blueprints including WordPress, cPanel & WHM, Plesk, Drupal, Magento, MEAN, LAMP, Node.js, Ruby on Rails, Amazon Linux, Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, AlmaLinux, and Windows. The new compute-optimized instances enable you to run compute-intensive workloads that require high CPU. These high-performance instances deliver consistent, dedicated CPU performance ensuring your applications always have the full processing power they need. These new instance bundles are ideal for workloads such as batch processing, distributed analytics, high-performance web servers, scientific modeling, dedicated gaming servers, ad serving engines, video encoding, and CPU-intensive machine learning inference applications.
