Amazon Lightsail added a WordPress blueprint enabling users to create a VPS preinstalled with WordPress through a guided setup wizard. This workflow facilitates steps such as connecting a custom domain, DNS configuration, attaching static IPs, and enabling HTTPS with Let’s Encrypt certificates, all managed via Lightsail's console interface.
The blueprint enforces Instance Metadata Service Version 2 (IMDSv2) by default and is available across all AWS Regions supporting Lightsail. It targets users seeking simplified cloud deployment of WordPress sites without manual server setup, providing a managed and streamlined hosting solution.
