Deploys, hosts, or runs a container or Docker app on Amazon Lightsail Container Service and returns a live, managed HTTPS URL at a flat monthly price — no cluster, VPC, load balancer, or registry to set up. Used when deploying a container image to Lightsail from a local Docker build, a public registry image, or a GitHub repo, or when a Lightsail container deployment fails or won't serve — including when the request doesn't name Lightsail but asks to run one always-on container behind a public URL at a flat, predictable monthly price. Not for running an app on a Lightsail instance (VM) or Amazon EC2 instead of the container service, and not for workloads needing Kubernetes, autoscaling, scale-to-zero, or per-request pricing (use Amazon ECS/EKS or ECS Express Mode).

# Deploying containers to Amazon Lightsail

## Overview

Amazon Lightsail Container Service runs a container image behind a managed, HTTPS URL for a flat monthly price. The
URL, TLS certificate, and load balancing are included — there is no cluster, VPC, load balancer, or registry to set
up.

This skill takes a container image from any source to a live, serving Lightsail deployment, and diagnoses one that
won't serve. Creating the service requires two choices: **`power`**, the memory and vCPUs of each node, and **`scale`**,
how many nodes run, each running a full copy of the deployment. Capacity never changes on its own — there is no
autoscaling and no scale-to-zero — so you raise `power` or `scale` yourself when a service needs more.
