I'm diving into DevOps tools and getting into Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform. I'm curious if I can effectively use Terraform with Lightsail or if I really need to go with EC2 for my infrastructure needs. I've heard some comparisons about how efficient EC2 is compared to Lightsail instances. Also, are there any alternatives to EC2 or Lightsail that might work better for my setup? I'm also considering utilizing Docker through Terraform, as that could let me continue using Lightsail as my development environment. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Honestly, for real-world DevOps scenarios, EC2, ECS, EKS, or Lambda are the way to go. Lightsail might not cut it for more intensive tasks. It's definitely worth checking out those platforms for your infrastructure needs!
Thanks! I appreciate your input. I'm currently following an AWS tutorial to set up an EC2 instance, so I wanted to weigh my options especially since I'm using Lightsail for dev now. Cheers!
