IICan AWS credits pay for Lightsail?
AWS Activate credits pay for eligible AWS services, and Amazon Lightsail usage is billed on your AWS invoice like any other service. Activate Founders gives $1,000 to start, up to $5,000; you apply for it yourself. AWS promotional credits do not pay Savings Plans or Reserved Instance upfront fees.
For a larger project on Lightsail, a vetted AWS partner can request funding only partners can file: MAP for a migration, POC to test something, incremental workload funding for new work. For startups that is usually $50K to $150K. Depends on the workload; AWS approves.
