Normal AWS VS Lightsail?

I just saw this post here: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/19214-flarum-on-lightsail-will-be-amazing-please-make-it-happen

And was curious what the big difference was between normal AWS (Which is where I am hosting my flarum) and lightsail from Amazon?

MikeJones how about reading the docs on AWS website ? 🤷‍♂️ https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/features/

Sounds like a managed VPS to me, while EC2 is unmanaged VPS. The page says you can move your lightsail VPS to EC2 if you want.

So I guess as far as Flarum installation is concerned, it will work exactly the same. It's all the remaining of the server management that will be different.
