Difficulty: MediumAWS Compute Services

A small local bakery wants to launch a simple WordPress website to showcase their daily menu and take custom cake orders. The business has a very limited IT budget and no cloud engineering experience. They require a web hosting solution that bundles compute, SSD-based storage, a pre-configured database, and static IP addresses into a single package with a predictable monthly price. Which AWS compute service should the bakery use to meet these requirements?

  1. A
    AWS Lambda
  2. B
    Amazon EC2
  3. Amazon LightsailAnswer
  4. D
    AWS Fargate

Answer

Amazon Lightsail
Amazon Lightsail is the ideal choice because it is designed specifically for developers, small businesses, and users who need a simple virtual private server (VPS) solution. It provides pre-configured templates for common platforms like WordPress and bundles compute power, SSD-based storage, data transfer capacity, a database, and static IPs into a predictable, flat monthly pricing tier.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the customer requirements: lack of cloud expertise, need for bundled resource packages (compute, storage, database), and strict predictable monthly pricing.
Identified the need for an easy-to-use virtual private server solution with low overhead and flat-rate pricing.
Ensures the selected service aligns with both technical capability constraints and cost management goals.
2
Compare AWS compute options: Amazon EC2 requires manual administration; AWS Lambda is event-driven serverless; AWS Fargate requires container orchestration; Amazon Lightsail offers pre-configured virtual private server bundles.
Determined that Amazon Lightsail is the only service that satisfies all the criteria of pre-configured simple bundles and flat monthly pricing.
Allows selecting the compute option that minimizes operational complexity.

Key Concept

Selecting the appropriate AWS compute service based on business needs, technical expertise, and cost predictability constraints.
