1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,320
‫So I want to quickly show you

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:03,410
‫what Lightsail looks like

3
00:00:03,410 --> 00:00:05,290
‫we're not going to play much with it.

4
00:00:05,290 --> 00:00:06,650
‫But I want to show you what it looks like.

5
00:00:06,650 --> 00:00:09,480
‫So Lightsail, as you can see, looks nothing like AWS,

6
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,240
‫it is a separate service

7
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:12,670
‫because it doesn't have any kind

8
00:00:12,670 --> 00:00:14,770
‫of good integrations with AWS.

9
00:00:14,770 --> 00:00:16,690
‫So let's get started with Lightsail.

10
00:00:16,690 --> 00:00:18,110
‫They need you to create an instance.

11
00:00:18,110 --> 00:00:20,340
‫And so say, where is this going to be.

12
00:00:20,340 --> 00:00:22,730
‫And so as you can see, you can change the region

13
00:00:22,730 --> 00:00:25,060
‫and the AZ from here for that instance.

14
00:00:25,060 --> 00:00:28,010
‫And there's limited amount of regions available to you.

15
00:00:28,010 --> 00:00:30,840
‫So for example, we can set at one in Ireland,

16
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,310
‫then based on where you select your instance to be,

17
00:00:34,310 --> 00:00:36,110
‫you're going to get some parameters

18
00:00:36,110 --> 00:00:37,470
‫to configure your instance,

19
00:00:37,470 --> 00:00:38,990
‫but you're going to get a lot less.

20
00:00:38,990 --> 00:00:40,640
‫so you can pick an instance image

21
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,590
‫which would correspond to an AMI a but again,

22
00:00:42,590 --> 00:00:45,670
‫all these things are hidden from you in lightsail.

23
00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:47,050
‫And so for example, we can say okay,

24
00:00:47,050 --> 00:00:49,840
‫we want to use a blueprint such as a template,

25
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,640
‫and we can use the OS only.

26
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,310
‫This would be very similar to EC2,

27
00:00:53,310 --> 00:00:55,100
‫but we can go with App NOS for example.

28
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:56,120
‫We can say okay,

29
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,360
‫I want to launch a WordPress websites right now.

30
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,470
‫and you click on this And you have a WordPress website.

31
00:01:01,470 --> 00:01:02,600
‫So as you can see,

32
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,580
‫lightsail is a much lighter as the name indicates.

33
00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:07,930
‫And it's really meant for you to be quickly up

34
00:01:07,930 --> 00:01:10,220
‫and going on AWS without understanding,

35
00:01:10,220 --> 00:01:12,650
‫the entire infrastructure that goes behind it.

36
00:01:12,650 --> 00:01:14,940
‫So this is for very simple applications.

37
00:01:14,940 --> 00:01:17,060
‫So we can have an optional launch grid,

38
00:01:17,060 --> 00:01:18,660
‫which is an EC2 use data,

39
00:01:18,660 --> 00:01:20,740
‫we can change the SSH key pair if you wanted to.

40
00:01:20,740 --> 00:01:22,680
‫But you can see all these things are kind of hidden.

41
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:23,513
‫They don't want you

42
00:01:23,513 --> 00:01:25,690
‫to modify these parameters well, right away.

43
00:01:25,690 --> 00:01:27,400
‫The cool thing here is the instance plan.

44
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,690
‫So we have a lot less customization here,

45
00:01:29,690 --> 00:01:31,880
‫we don't see the EC2 instance types,

46
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,430
‫we just see some instances with a price indicated,

47
00:01:35,430 --> 00:01:37,960
‫so it's easy to understand the price is going to cost me

48
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:40,370
‫For example, this one will cost me 3.5 USD,

49
00:01:40,370 --> 00:01:42,630
‫but it's the first month is going to be free.

50
00:01:42,630 --> 00:01:44,040
‫So maybe that's the one I want.

51
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,070
‫And we can see how much RAM CPU I get and disk space.

52
00:01:48,070 --> 00:01:49,870
‫So this is really, really easy to use.

53
00:01:49,870 --> 00:01:50,703
‫As you can see,

54
00:01:50,703 --> 00:01:52,510
‫we don't have that many instance types possible.

55
00:01:52,510 --> 00:01:54,330
‫We can go all the way to one

56
00:01:54,330 --> 00:01:56,790
‫that costs 160 US dollars per month,

57
00:01:56,790 --> 00:02:01,090
‫and we see 32 gigabytes of memory, eight VCPU 640 ASG

58
00:02:01,090 --> 00:02:03,537
‫and seven terabytes of network transfer,

59
00:02:03,537 --> 00:02:06,060
‫so fairly easy, I'm going to just pick this one

60
00:02:06,060 --> 00:02:07,170
‫because it's in the free tier,

61
00:02:07,170 --> 00:02:09,350
‫and then you have to make sure you delete at the end.

62
00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:11,260
‫So it's going to be WordPress one,

63
00:02:11,260 --> 00:02:12,720
‫and it will create this instance.

64
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,200
‫So we can see here, no security groups, no networking,

65
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,780
‫no EBS volumes, really, it's meant to be very, very simple.

66
00:02:19,780 --> 00:02:22,660
‫And that's the main idea behind lightsail.

67
00:02:22,660 --> 00:02:24,410
‫So while this instance is pending, again,

68
00:02:24,410 --> 00:02:25,770
‫we can go ahead and create,

69
00:02:25,770 --> 00:02:28,340
‫we could go ahead and create a database.

70
00:02:28,340 --> 00:02:29,610
‫So you could create database and again,

71
00:02:29,610 --> 00:02:32,270
‫this is not RDS, this is lightsail.

72
00:02:32,270 --> 00:02:34,130
‫So it's going to be much more easy.

73
00:02:34,130 --> 00:02:35,030
‫You choose again, the region

74
00:02:35,030 --> 00:02:37,390
‫and the AZ you pick the database type.

75
00:02:37,390 --> 00:02:39,900
‫And then you can specify some credentials for the login,

76
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:42,450
‫if you want to standard database or high availability,

77
00:02:42,450 --> 00:02:44,550
‫and then the price you're willing to pay.

78
00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:45,960
‫And again, this database right here,

79
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,580
‫will get you the first month three,

80
00:02:47,580 --> 00:02:49,310
‫but then you would be $15 per month.

81
00:02:49,310 --> 00:02:50,260
‫So as you can see, again,

82
00:02:50,260 --> 00:02:53,340
‫it's a very simplified version of AWS,

83
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:55,100
‫hence the name lightsail.

84
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:56,570
‫We could do the same with networking.

85
00:02:56,570 --> 00:02:57,500
‫I won't show you right now.

86
00:02:57,500 --> 00:02:58,930
‫But you can create all these three things,

87
00:02:58,930 --> 00:03:00,340
‫including a load balancer,

88
00:03:00,340 --> 00:03:01,840
‫In the networking section,

89
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,500
‫we could do storage to get some more storage disk

90
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:06,470
‫and snapshots for your backups.

91
00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:11,320
‫So this is a very simplified one view of AWS.

92
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,120
‫Now let's look at our WordPress.

93
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,980
‫So here, if I click here,

94
00:03:14,980 --> 00:03:17,880
‫this actually gets me into an SSH terminal,

95
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,340
‫into my EC2 instance.

96
00:03:19,340 --> 00:03:22,530
‫So I need to wait a little bit for it to boot up.

97
00:03:22,530 --> 00:03:24,163
‫So if I now try again,

98
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,360
‫I'm able to connect to my instance using,

99
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,140
‫a version of SSH through the browser.

100
00:03:30,140 --> 00:03:33,700
‫So again, it's really intended to be very easy to be used.

101
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:36,320
‫So we're not going to do any commands on the SSH.

102
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,560
‫But as we can see a WordPress was deployed.

103
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,080
‫And so I can click on it and view it

104
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,300
‫and then we can connect using SSH again from the same thing.

105
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:47,570
‫But if we look at the public IP that is running,

106
00:03:47,570 --> 00:03:49,840
‫and open this in a new tab,

107
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,140
‫then we're going to connect into our WordPress instance.

108
00:03:53,140 --> 00:03:55,240
‫And so we are getting our hello world blog.

109
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,607
‫And I'm not a WordPress expert.

110
00:03:57,607 --> 00:03:59,030
‫So I'm not going to show you how to modify this,

111
00:03:59,030 --> 00:04:00,600
‫but the idea is that yes,

112
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,140
‫Something is being created on our instance.

113
00:04:03,140 --> 00:04:04,910
‫And that was very, very easy.

114
00:04:04,910 --> 00:04:06,880
‫So lightsail, I hope you get an idea of what it is.

115
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,980
‫It's meant to be a lightweight version of AWS,

116
00:04:09,980 --> 00:04:11,830
‫but it's not something you're going to use

117
00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:14,610
‫in your job, I believe as a RDS developer,

118
00:04:14,610 --> 00:04:18,030
‫as a subs lab practitioners, solutions architect, etc, etc.

119
00:04:18,030 --> 00:04:20,870
‫Still a good idea to know about the service

120
00:04:20,870 --> 00:04:23,476
‫and it can come up at, the exam, usually as a destructor.

121
00:04:23,476 --> 00:04:27,110
‫Very, very rarely as a service you should get the answer of.

122
00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:28,500
‫So that's it when you're done,

123
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:30,170
‫please make sure to delete that instance.

124
00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:31,260
‫So you click on delete,

125
00:04:31,260 --> 00:04:32,280
‫and then delete the instance

126
00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:34,490
‫so that you don't incur any charges.

127
00:04:34,490 --> 00:04:35,800
‫So that's it. I hope you liked it,

128
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,750
‫and I will see you in the next lecture.
