Considerations - Best Practices for WordPress on AWS

Considerations

This discussion starts with a single web server deployment. There may be occasions when you outgrow it, for example:

  • The virtual machine that your WordPress website is deployed on is a single point of failure. A problem with this instance causes a loss of service for your website.

  • Scaling resources to improve performance can only be achieved by “vertical scaling;” that is, by increasing the size of the virtual machine running your WordPress website.
