Amazon Lightsail is the easiest way to get started in the cloud. Lightsail provides compute, storage, and networking at a low fixed price. But, it doesn’t stop there, your Lightsail instances are built on and can leverage the power of the rest of services that AWS offers. This means that you can start building more quickly than ever before, but are not limited in what you can do long term.
In these labs you will deploy a scalable fault tolerant LAMP stack application. The app consists of a php-based web front-end and a highly-available Lightsail managed database. After you have the application working with a single front end instance, you’ll deploy multiple copies of the front end using Lightsail snapshots which you’ll put behind a Lightsail load balancer to provide horizontal scalability and fault tolerance.
