Lightsail is basically an EC2 instance packaged with an ipv4 address, storage and bandwidth to compete with low cost VPS providers.
I personally use lightsail for most always on things and then just use ec2 for on demand workloads, because it works out far cheaper (these are just random personal projects so I'm heavily optimising for low cost)
You can't configure the lightsail instances as much as an EC2 instance, but otherwise it's essentially the same product (both operated by AWS).
