Amazon Lightsail For WHMCSDustin Picciuolo (Serverhand.com, Inc.) 1 year agoI was looking for solutions for a multicloud environment and came across this module for AWS Lightsail to offer an entry level Amazon product to my customers. This is perfect and easy to setup and configure. I recommend it as a great tool to integrate with Lightsail VPS creation.

Future features that would be really nice to get:

- Ability to turn automatic snapshots On and Off.
- Integration with your Advanced Billing module to manage the billing of the actual snapshot-storage usage.
Thank you! -
