Tencent Cloud Lighthouse Instance Just Right for You

1. What is Tencent Cloud Lighthouse

A Tencent Cloud Lighthouse instance is just as easy to create, network-isolated, and stable as a Tencent Cloud CVM (Cloud Virtual Machine) instance. In addition, it offers differentiated yet targeted capabilities for SMEs and individual developers, such as ease of mastery with fewer concepts/parameters and more developer/application-friendly features.

2. Ease of Mastery with Fewer Concepts
Lighthouse is designed with fewer concepts than CVM for you to master it more effortlessly. Furthermore, its technical implementation is transparently simplified to just two core parameters: application environment and instance bundle. The former is delivered as application and system images, while the latter includes the bundle type and fee information and internally encapsulates a diversity of CVM concepts, including AZ, model, VPC, bandwidth, and data transfer plan.

3. More Developer/Application-Friendly Features
Lighthouse is inherently designed and developed to be closer to applications and developers. Unlike CVM, it is more about application deployment rather than resource creation; therefore, you can always select an appropriate image first and then configure resource parameters, easily and quickly.
Lighthouse works well with various mainstream applications that can be swiftly created and managed. For SMEs and individual developers, it offers a selection of popular application images, such as WordPress, LAMP, Node.js, and ASP.NET.

4. Virtualization and Quick Creation
Based on Tencent Cloud VStation's powerful capabilities of centrally scheduling and managing heterogeneous resources (KVM, bare metal, microVM, etc.), Lighthouse features fast and smart scheduling and high reliability, especially when it comes to large-scale clusters. As Lighthouse is delivered mainly through application images, Tencent Cloud CBS snapshotting can be readily used to create a Lighthouse instance in seconds when a snapshot rollback is triggered.
