Simple fixed-price VPS bundles No equivalent
Azure has no equivalent of Amazon Lightsail's fixed-price bundles. The usual Azure substitutes are a B-series VM, App Service (Free/Basic tiers), or Azure Static Web Apps, all billed by usage.
- Lightsail bundles a VPS with storage, transfer allowance, static IP, and DNS at a flat monthly price, and also offers managed databases, containers, CDN, and load balancers in the same simplified console.
- On Azure you assemble the pieces (VM, disk, public IP, bandwidth, DNS zone), each billed separately, or use PaaS tiers.
