Deploy a WordPress page using AWS CloudFormation

[4/100] #100DaysOfCloud Today, I deployed a WordPress page using AWS CloudFormation.

AWS CloudFormation :

  • AWS CloudFormation gives you an easy way to model a collection of related AWS and third-party resources, provision them quickly and consistently, and manage them throughout their lifecycles, by treating infrastructure as code. A CloudFormation template describes your desired resources and their dependencies so you can launch and configure them together as a stack. You can use a template to create, update, and delete an entire stack as a single unit, as often as you need to, instead of managing resources individually. You can manage and provision stacks across multiple AWS accounts and AWS Regions.

  • CloudFormation allows you to model your entire cloud environment in text files. You can use open-source declarative languages, such as JSON or YAML, to describe what AWS resources you want to create and configure. If you prefer to design visually, you can use AWS CloudFormation Designer to help you get started with AWS CloudFormation templates.

Use cases :

  • Manage infrastructure with DevOps :

    • Automate, test, and deploy infrastructure templates with continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) automations.
  • Scale production stacks :

    • Run anything from a single Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance to a complex multi-region application.
  • Share best practices :

    • Define an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) subnet or provisioning services like AWS OpsWorks or Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) with ease.

You can try to deploy a WordPress page using CloudFormation yourself by following the steps from the link below :
