In April 2026, Amazon Lightsail made its service available in the Asia Pacific (Malaysia) Region, extending its simplified cloud compute and storage options like instances, managed databases, and containers to customers in Malaysia and neighboring areas. This addresses latency and regulatory needs for applications serving this geography.

The new Region offers Lightsail's full suite of bundles—general purpose, compute-optimized, and memory-optimized—along with load balancers and predictable pricing. Lightsail's availability now spans multiple global Regions, accessible via the Console, CLI, and SDKs, supporting regional deployments and compliance requirements.
