# Become a Lightsail partner
<a name="lightsail-partners-become-a-partner"></a>

You must submit a form to be considered for becoming an Amazon Lightsail partner. The request will be filed using the AWS account that you are logged in with at the time you complete the form. If you use AWS Organizations to help centrally manage your AWS accounts, you should submit the request while using your management account to become a partner. By using your management account, you get increased default Lightsail instance quotas across the member accounts in your organization. For more information on how Lightsail partner benefits affect your AWS accounts, see [How Lightsail partner benefits and increased default quotas apply to your accounts](lightsail-partners.md#lightsail-partners-how-accounts-benefit).

If your request is approved, and you have multiple organizations, you can submit an additional request to add the AWS account ID of each organization's management account to scale the increased default Lightsail instance quotas to the member accounts of those organizations as well. For more information about Organizations, see [What is AWS Organizations?](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_introduction.html) in the *AWS Organizations User Guide*.

## Required information to become a Lightsail partner
<a name="lightsail-partners-become-a-partner-required-information"></a>

We will require some information about your planned usage and use case to consider your request to become an Amazon Lightsail partner. A form is available on the Lightsail console that you can complete and submit for consideration. In addition to details about your business, you should have the following information to complete the form:
+ Size and quantity of instance bundles for the Lightsail resources you plan to use. For more information on the available bundles, see [Amazon Lightsail pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/pricing/).
+ AWS account IDs that you want to enroll. If you are using AWS Organizations, you should only specify your management account in the request. This also enrolls the respective member accounts in the organization. For more information, see [Terminology and concepts for AWS Organizations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_getting-started_concepts.html) in the *AWS Organizations User Guide*.

## Request to become a Lightsail partner
<a name="lightsail-partners-become-a-partner-submit-request"></a>

The following steps will submit a request to become a partner. The AWS account ID that you are authenticated with will be used as the account that you'd like to have partner benefits for. If your request is approved, you can then request additional accounts to be added.

**Tip**  
If you are using AWS Organizations, you should perform this procedure as the management account for your organization so that your member accounts also receive increased default Lightsail instance quotas.

You will receive a confirmation of your submission to your account's email regarding your interest in becoming a partner. If your request is approved, your **Account** page in the Lightsail console will have a revised **Lightsail partner** section with options to manage your partner accounts and to contact the Lightsail team for feedback or queries as a Lightsail partner. This section is only visible to the account that submitted the request to become a Lightsail partner. You will also receive the higher service quotas for Lightsail instances and be able to request adding additional AWS accounts to become Lightsail partners.
