Console Tutorial: Deploying a Tier and Tie WordPress Website

This section describes how to deploy a high availability (HA) WordPress site into an AMS environment using the AMS console. This set of instructions includes an example of creating the necessary WordPress CodeDeploy-compatible package (e.g. zip) file. The provisioning of the resources follows an order that allows you to tie them together to form "tiers."

Note

This deployment walkthrough is designed for use with an AMZN Linux OS.

The essential variable parameters are notated as replaceable; however, you may want to modify other parameters to suit your situation.

Summary of tasks and required RFCs:
