Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for support with 24-hour response. Costs for this software are for configuration of Wordpress on AWS resources described below.
This CloudFront stack delivers an EC2 Autoscaling Wordpress server cluster ready to provide Wordpress to your customers. Preconfigured across availability zones, we provide redundancy via an Application Load Balancer, RDS, and shared EFS storage.
Wordpress is hosted on a user-specified number of EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer. Database storage for Wordpress is included on a shared RDS instance. This deployment is a Wordpress multi-site installation.
Chose parameters for the number of EC2 instances in your Autoscaling cluster [between one and eight], the EC2 key to use to control access to the server instances, EC2 instances types and an operator email to receive notifications.
Deploying this solution creates a VPC with the required network components, secrets and keys required to manage the product on EC2 and RDS, a network file system to store data, and an AWS SNS topic with a recipient email for scaling notifications.
After deploying, follow this guide to register a custom domain in Route53, and route that traffic to your new Wordpress cluster on HTTPS: https://docs.thinkwithwp.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/routing-to-elb-load-balancer.html .

CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
