          Turned it on, I would guess.

                I honestly thought that you were asking about the application layer.

                    Linking to this discussion as it is not a duplicate but there is a lot info there as well since the State of Cloud 2016 post came out just as Amazon announced LightSail.

                      Purely Linux at this time, just CentOS based and Ubuntu. No Windows, BSD, Suse, etc.

                        This is definitely going to put a lot of pressure on the other VPS providers. It is going to be really easy to connect with other AWS services so the value of the service is going to be great.

                          Tons of pressure. Vultr is really the only one with a lot of breathing room.

                              Plain or did you go for a preconfigured application?
