Lightsail is a great platform for setting up quick WordPress sites and other web applications. To help walkthrough the various features of Lightsail, extend the platform and instances in a way that it can be used efficiently, I've created a set of YouTube videos that are aimed at helping beginners and developers that use apps like WordPress. Here are list of videos that hope you will find useful.
