aws_lightsail

Amazon Lightsail is the easiest way to get started with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for developers who need to build websites or web applications. It includes everything you need to launch your project quickly – instances (virtual private servers), managed databases, SSD-based block storage, static IP addresses, load balancers, content delivery network (CDN) distributions, DNS management of registered domains, and snapshots (backups) – for a low, predictable monthly price.

You can manage your Lightsail resources using the Lightsail console, Lightsail API, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or SDKs. For more information about Lightsail concepts and tasks, see the Lightsail Dev Guide.

Functions

Allocates a static IP address.

Attaches an SSL/TLS certificate to your Amazon Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distribution.

After the certificate is attached, your distribution accepts HTTPS traffic for all of the domains that are associated with the certificate.

Use the CreateCertificate action to create a certificate that you can attach to your distribution.

Attaches a block storage disk to a running or stopped Lightsail instance and exposes it to the instance with the specified disk name.

Attaches one or more Lightsail instances to a load balancer.

After some time, the instances are attached to the load balancer and the health check status is available.

Attaches a Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate to your load balancer. TLS is just an updated, more secure version of Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

Once you create and validate your certificate, you can attach it to your load balancer. You can also use this API to rotate the certificates on your account. Use the AttachLoadBalancerTlsCertificate action with the non-attached certificate, and it will replace the existing one and become the attached certificate.

Attaches a static IP address to a specific Amazon Lightsail instance.

Closes ports for a specific Amazon Lightsail instance.

Copies a manual snapshot of an instance or disk as another manual snapshot, or copies an automatic snapshot of an instance or disk as a manual snapshot. This operation can also be used to copy a manual or automatic snapshot of an instance or a disk from one AWS Region to another in Amazon Lightsail.

When copying a manual snapshot, be sure to define the source region, source snapshot name, and target snapshot name parameters.

Creates an SSL/TLS certificate for a Amazon Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distribution.

After the certificate is created, use the AttachCertificateToDistribution action to attach the certificate to your distribution.

Creates an AWS CloudFormation stack, which creates a new Amazon EC2 instance from an exported Amazon Lightsail snapshot. This operation results in a CloudFormation stack record that can be used to track the AWS CloudFormation stack created. Use the get cloud formation stack records operation to get a list of the CloudFormation stacks created.

Creates an email or SMS text message contact method.

Creates a block storage disk that can be attached to an Amazon Lightsail instance in the same Availability Zone (e.g., us-east-2a).

Creates a block storage disk from a manual or automatic snapshot of a disk. The resulting disk can be attached to an Amazon Lightsail instance in the same Availability Zone (e.g., us-east-2a).

Creates a snapshot of a block storage disk. You can use snapshots for backups, to make copies of disks, and to save data before shutting down a Lightsail instance.

You can take a snapshot of an attached disk that is in use; however, snapshots only capture data that has been written to your disk at the time the snapshot command is issued. This may exclude any data that has been cached by any applications or the operating system. If you can pause any file systems on the disk long enough to take a snapshot, your snapshot should be complete. Nevertheless, if you cannot pause all file writes to the disk, you should unmount the disk from within the Lightsail instance, issue the create disk snapshot command, and then remount the disk to ensure a consistent and complete snapshot. You may remount and use your disk while the snapshot status is pending.

You can also use this operation to create a snapshot of an instance's system volume. You might want to do this, for example, to recover data from the system volume of a botched instance or to create a backup of the system volume like you would for a block storage disk. To create a snapshot of a system volume, just define the instance name parameter when issuing the snapshot command, and a snapshot of the defined instance's system volume will be created. After the snapshot is available, you can create a block storage disk from the snapshot and attach it to a running instance to access the data on the disk.

Creates an Amazon Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distribution.

Creates a domain resource for the specified domain (e.g., example.com).

Creates one of the following entry records associated with the domain: Address (A), canonical name (CNAME), mail exchanger (MX), name server (NS), start of authority (SOA), service locator (SRV), or text (TXT).

Creates a snapshot of a specific virtual private server, or instance. You can use a snapshot to create a new instance that is based on that snapshot.

Creates one or more Amazon Lightsail instances.

Creates one or more new instances from a manual or automatic snapshot of an instance.

Creates an SSH key pair.

Creates a Lightsail load balancer. To learn more about deciding whether to load balance your application, see Configure your Lightsail instances for load balancing. You can create up to 5 load balancers per AWS Region in your account.

When you create a load balancer, you can specify a unique name and port settings. To change additional load balancer settings, use the UpdateLoadBalancerAttribute operation.

Creates a Lightsail load balancer TLS certificate.

TLS is just an updated, more secure version of Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

Creates a new database in Amazon Lightsail.

Creates a new database from an existing database snapshot in Amazon Lightsail.

You can create a new database from a snapshot in if something goes wrong with your original database, or to change it to a different plan, such as a high availability or standard plan.

Creates a snapshot of your database in Amazon Lightsail. You can use snapshots for backups, to make copies of a database, and to save data before deleting a database.

Deletes an alarm.

Deletes an automatic snapshot of an instance or disk. For more information, see the Lightsail Dev Guide.

Deletes an SSL/TLS certificate for your Amazon Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distribution.

Deletes a contact method.

Deletes the specified block storage disk. The disk must be in the available state (not attached to a Lightsail instance).

Deletes the specified disk snapshot.

When you make periodic snapshots of a disk, the snapshots are incremental, and only the blocks on the device that have changed since your last snapshot are saved in the new snapshot. When you delete a snapshot, only the data not needed for any other snapshot is removed. So regardless of which prior snapshots have been deleted, all active snapshots will have access to all the information needed to restore the disk.

Deletes your Amazon Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distribution.

Deletes the specified domain recordset and all of its domain records.

Deletes a specific domain entry.

Deletes an Amazon Lightsail instance.

Deletes a specific snapshot of a virtual private server (or instance).

Deletes a specific SSH key pair.

Deletes the known host key or certificate used by the Amazon Lightsail browser-based SSH or RDP clients to authenticate an instance. This operation enables the Lightsail browser-based SSH or RDP clients to connect to the instance after a host key mismatch.

Deletes a Lightsail load balancer and all its associated SSL/TLS certificates. Once the load balancer is deleted, you will need to create a new load balancer, create a new certificate, and verify domain ownership again.

Deletes an SSL/TLS certificate associated with a Lightsail load balancer.

Deletes a database in Amazon Lightsail.

Deletes a database snapshot in Amazon Lightsail.

Detaches an SSL/TLS certificate from your Amazon Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distribution.

Detaches a stopped block storage disk from a Lightsail instance. Make sure to unmount any file systems on the device within your operating system before stopping the instance and detaching the disk.

Enables or modifies an add-on for an Amazon Lightsail resource. For more information, see the Lightsail Dev Guide.

Exports an Amazon Lightsail instance or block storage disk snapshot to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). This operation results in an export snapshot record that can be used with the create cloud formation stack operation to create new Amazon EC2 instances.

Exported instance snapshots appear in Amazon EC2 as Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), and the instance system disk appears as an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume. Exported disk snapshots appear in Amazon EC2 as Amazon EBS volumes. Snapshots are exported to the same Amazon Web Services Region in Amazon EC2 as the source Lightsail snapshot.

The export snapshot operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by source snapshot name. For more information, see the Lightsail Dev Guide.

Returns the names of all active (not deleted) resources.

Returns information about the configured alarms. Specify an alarm name in your request to return information about a specific alarm, or specify a monitored resource name to return information about all alarms for a specific resource.

Returns the available automatic snapshots for an instance or disk. For more information, see the Lightsail Dev Guide.

Returns the list of available instance images, or blueprints. You can use a blueprint to create a new instance already running a specific operating system, as well as a preinstalled app or development stack. The software each instance is running depends on the blueprint image you choose.
