How do I save my work in Amazon Lightsail?

Last updated: 2021-01-12

Create a snapshot of your Lightsail instance to use as a backup. Lightsail snapshots preserve the state of your instance at the time the snapshot was taken.

After you create a snapshot, you can delete the running Lightsail instance. If you need that instance again, you can create a new Lightsail instance from that snapshot.

Note: Snapshots are billed at a lower rate than running Lightsail instances.
