Lightsail provides a base set of resources available 24x7 in different configurations for compute, storage, memory, network access. From a Lightsail account, console do I have access to normal AWS services as an option?



Step-by-step guide for Example

create an admin user acct 

If you don't already have an access key for your AWS account root user, don't create one unless you absolutely need to. Instead, use your account email address and password to sign in to the AWS Management Console and create an IAM user for yourself that has administrative permissions.
