Test Performance Benchmark on Amazon Lightsail VPS

Free VPS at Amazon AWS, currently rated by many people, besides other famous brands like Google Cloud ($300 for free) or Microsoft Azure ($200 for free) or Alibaba Cloud. The biggest advantage of Amazon EC2 allows you to use VPS for free for up to 1 year, fast registration.

Today, my friend shared the Ram MB 512 MB package, I decided to test the performance benchmark of this package, including Bench.sh, Serverscope, TocDo.net.
