I am new to server stuff. I'd like to store some images on the server (willing to use Amazon lightsail) and load those images from a mobile app and display them. Can I do this with Amazon lightsail/storage/bucket and do I need to buy it? I think I will store just a few images (probably less than 200 images, each image less than 1MB). Not gonna upload them all at once.
I guess this is so simple question, but for beginners, it's not so simple. Thanks in advance for any comments.
Amazon Lightsail is AWS' easy-to-use virtual private server. Lightsail offers virtual servers, storage, databases, networking, CDN, and monitoring for a low, predictable price.
The ideia of the Lightsail service is provide an easy to you host your application without the need of handle a lot of settings.
For your case, you simple need S3 buckets to host images, I do not think that Lightsail will the best option.
Simple save your files in a S3 bucket and load the images using presigned/public URLs, or via the SDK.
