Option 2: Deploy WordPress on EC2 with CloudFormation stack
Deploying WordPress with a CloudFormation stack involves using AWS CloudFormation, a service that allows you to define and provision infrastructure as code. CloudFormation enables you to define your infrastructure as code, making it easier to version, manage, and automate your WordPress deployment. This helps ensure consistency and reproducibility. CloudFormation allows you to design your infrastructure for scalability. You can easily adjust the number of resources (e.g., EC2 instances) as your WordPress site’s traffic fluctuates. CloudFormation handles the rollback of resources in case of deployment failures, and it allows you to update your stack while preserving existing resources.
