For my use cases, Lightsail containers are far over-priced when compared to the smallest virtual server (which can run multiple small containers). $3.5/month for 1vCPU virtual server or $7 per container for 0.5 vCPU.

There is certainly value in the service offered, but 4x/vCPU worth? That I am not sure of.

lightsail seems to be aimed at smaller deployments, so measuring the cost difference as a ratio probably isn't as relevant as the absolute difference - this is probably worth $7-14/mo for the user who's only running a couple of small containers.
To be fair, it's 1 burstable vcpu with 5% usage baseline.
So a 0.05 CPU?
