History: AWS Lightsail

Preview of version: 18

Create an Amazon AWS Account

LightSail is a very affordable (almost free depending on usage) cloud computing platform that is great for running TikiWiki for personal projects or small collaboration groups.
Another aspect of LightSail is that it is geared for easy to setup and maintenance with just the bare amount of features that you need to run a professional looking TikiWiki.

Requirements

Given the high security requirements of Amazon AWS you will need a virtual Two Factor Authentication device. Google provide a good virtual Two Factor Authentication app on the Play store and the App Store

AWS Account Creation

  • Go to the AWS account setup page here.
  • After email verification you then use the AWS sign-in page here.
