That's their usual monopoly strategy. They just make things look harder to use. It's pretty the same product as Digital Ocean.

I still stuck in my eyes that DigitalOcean lowest tier is 5 USD / mo. But AWS LightSail starts at 3.5 USD / mo.

If it is only SSH into the remote VM, I bet any providers would be the same. Therefore, I currently use GCP's Compute Engine, because I have free credits for one year, to run Docker compose.

Yes, I also realize that DigitalOcean give access to varieties of prebuilt images, not just some Dockerized things as well.

5 USD still affordable and cheap to me. When I love a product, I'll stay with it for a very long time.
