haze.moe is now running on Lightsail!


because an EC2 instance was absolute overkill


October 28, 2020

The title says everything.

Even though I didn’t update shit in this site for months (!), I still kept track of the instance etc. The free year of my first EC2 instance was ending soon, so I got rid of the complicated AWS Management Boards and traded the EC2 for a Lightsail instance. This keeps costs to a new minimum (actually impossible to find better prices for a VM with those specs), and the documentation and less complicated interface to manage the instance is a bliss! Even though nothing should have changed in terms of speed and availability, I just wanted to quickly write a post about it (and to be honest I have A LOT of posts saved as drafts, but I was always too lazy to review and post them eventually). So yeah, that’s that!
