If I copy a Snapshot of the Lightsail Instance to a new Lightsail Instance then delete the old snapshot, will it also delete the new Snapshot?

Question

Hello.

I want to migrate my Lightsail Instance to another one. But, isn't possible, instead create a snapshot of the old Lightsail instance and copy it to the new Lightsail Instance (https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/lightsail-instance-move-to-new-region).

My question is, if I copy a Snapshot of the old Lightsail Instance to a new Lightsail Instance and then delete the snapshot of the old Lightsail Instance, will it also delete a snapshot of the new Lightsail Instance?

Thank you.

Accepted Answer

It will not and they are independent copy at the point the copy creation is completed.
