Currently, I am using EC2 with Amazon Linux 2 as OS to deploy my backend APIs, earlier I use to deploy it on Ubuntu OS, I have seen significant performance change on it. It's response time got decreased, I'm pretty sure it's due to change in OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As such no reason to dislike it, I used to use apt,apt-get packages to install on ubuntu, As I'm less familier with yum commands. It can be improved by myself only. :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doestn't come out of the box installed with LAMP stack so if you have instance created in Lightsail you can port it here in minutes. Thats the best and the fastest way to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
