Amazon LightSail gives you 1 CPU, 1GB RAM, 40GB SSD and 2TB transfer for the same price.

Amazon Lightsail launched way after Linode and DO have been established in the low-cost segment, and it was slightly more expensive than Linode and DO when it launched. It appears they've lowered their prices again in order to capture the market but mind share is still low.

Last time I tested it Amazon Lightsail was also way slower.

It is. The "1 vcpu" is basically a lie. They throttle Lightsail viciously based on use.

I can tell that - many people in this thread are using “AWS” as though it’s synonymous with “EC2”.

I assure you that the majority of users in these discussions is perfectly aware of the extent of the AWS ecosystem.
