How to use it

Use this walkthrough to teach static IP management without giving every learner console access. Lightsail's public IPs change whenever an instance stops and starts, so attaching a static IP is one of the first things a real deployment needs, and one of the easiest to demonstrate.

The deletion half matters just as much as the creation half. A static IP that is not attached to an instance starts accruing charges, so this walkthrough deliberately ends by deleting the unattached IP, the exact cleanup habit that keeps a real account from quietly costing money.

Embed the walkthrough beside your Lightsail lesson so students can practice the create-and-delete cycle before touching a billed account.

How it was built

The workflow was recorded in Chrome with Demo Maker Pro while clicking through the browser interface normally. Each captured step preserves HTML, CSS and real text instead of flattening the screen into an image.

After recording, the steps can be cleaned up in the desktop editor, renamed, reordered and given guidance where it helps. The finished walkthrough can then be exported as HTML or published to Demo Maker Pro hosting.

Build your own interactive HTML demo

If the system runs in Chrome, record the workflow you already know and turn it into a guided interactive demo. Create it locally, export the HTML yourself, or publish it for a shareable link.

Frequently asked questions

Does this demo work offline?
Yes. Demos made with Demo Maker Pro export as a single self-contained HTML file that runs without an internet connection, from a laptop, an intranet, or a USB drive.

Do viewers need an AWS account or a login?
No. The walkthrough is a captured copy of the real console, so anyone can click through it without an account, permissions, or a sandbox.

Can I make a walkthrough like this for my own system?
Yes. If the system runs in Chrome or Edge, Demo Maker Pro records it as you click and turns the flow into an interactive HTML demo you own.
