Expand description
Amazon Lightsail is the easiest way to get started with Amazon Web Services (Amazon Web Services) for developers who need to build websites or web applications. It includes everything you need to launch your project quickly - instances (virtual private servers), container services, storage buckets, managed databases, SSD-based block storage, static IP addresses, load balancers, content delivery network (CDN) distributions, DNS management of registered domains, and resource snapshots (backups) - for a low, predictable monthly price.
You can manage your Lightsail resources using the Lightsail console, Lightsail API, Command Line Interface (CLI), or SDKs. For more information about Lightsail concepts and tasks, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.
This API Reference provides detailed information about the actions, data types, parameters, and errors of the Lightsail service. For more information about the supported Amazon Web Services Regions, endpoints, and service quotas of the Lightsail service, see Amazon Lightsail Endpoints and Quotas in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
§Getting Started
Examples are available for many services and operations, check out the examples folder in GitHub.
The SDK provides one crate per AWS service. You must add Tokio
as a dependency within your Rust project to execute asynchronous code. To add aws-sdk-lightsail
to
your project, add the following to your Cargo.toml file:
[dependencies]
aws-config = { version = "1.1.7", features = ["behavior-version-latest"] }
aws-sdk-lightsail = "1.69.0"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
Then in code, a client can be created with the following:
use aws_sdk_lightsail as lightsail;
#[::tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), lightsail::Error> {
let config = aws_config::load_from_env().await;
let client = aws_sdk_lightsail::Client::new(&config);
// ... make some calls with the client
Ok(())
}
See the client documentation for information on what calls can be made, and the inputs and outputs for each of those calls.
§Using the SDK
Until the SDK is released, we will be adding information about using the SDK to the Developer Guide. Feel free to suggest additional sections for the guide by opening an issue and describing what you are trying to do.

§Crate Organization
The entry point for most customers will be Client
, which exposes one method for each API
offered by Amazon Lightsail. The return value of each of these methods is a “fluent builder”,
where the different inputs for that API are added by builder-style function call chaining,
followed by calling send()
to get a Future
that will result in
either a successful output or a SdkError
.
Some of these API inputs may be structs or enums to provide more complex structured information.
These structs and enums live in types
. There are some simpler types for
representing data such as date times or binary blobs that live in primitives
.
All types required to configure a client via the Config
struct live
in config
.
The operation
module has a submodule for every API, and in each submodule
is the input, output, and error type for that API, as well as builders to construct each of those.
There is a top-level Error
type that encompasses all the errors that the
client can return. Any other error type can be converted to this Error
type via the
From
trait.
The other modules within this crate are not required for normal usage.
