Summary of the Lightsail Setup Articles.

Over five articles I covered Amazon Lightsail — from AWS registration and IAM setup through Drupal installation, domain configuration, Amazon WorkMail, and the contact form with SES. This article brings them together as a summary, along with my overall impressions of AWS after using it for the first time.
