Sometimes definitions like IaaS and PaaS get bit blurry.
It is pretty clear that Amazon EC2 is IaaS. By contrast then Amazon Lighsail looks more PaaS. From the docs
Amazon Lightsail is the easiest way to get started with Amazon Web Services (AWS) 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, managed databases, content delivery network (CDN) distributions, load balancers, SSD-based block storage, static IP addresses, DNS management of registered domains, and resource snapshots (backups) - for a low, predictable monthly price.
