Create and manage virtual computers on Lightsail for Research

With Amazon Lightsail for Research, you can create virtual computers in the AWS Cloud.

When you create a virtual computer, you choose an application and a hardware plan to use. You can set a spend limit for your virtual computer, and choose what happens when the virtual computer reaches that limit. For example, you can choose to automatically stop the virtual computer so that you're not charged more than your configured budget.

Important

As of March 22, 2024, Lightsail for Research virtual computers will have IMDSv2 enforced by default.
