WordPress Deployment On EC2 Instance And Use RDS For Database

In this article we will deploy WordPress on AWS EC2 Instance and we will use AWS RDS Service For Database . In AWS RDS We will use MySQL Database .

Task Description📄 -

🔅 Create an AWS EC2 instance
🔅 Configure the instance with Apache Webserver.

🔅 As wordpress stores data at the backend in MySQL Database server. Therefore, you need to setup a MySQL server using AWS RDS service using free Tier.
🔅 Provide the endpoint/connection string to the
WordPress application to make it work.

* Allow port 22
aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress — group-name MySecurityGroup — protocol tcp — port 33076— cidr 0.0.0.0/0

Launch EC2 Instance -
aws ec2 run-instances — image-id ami-052c08d70def0ac62 — count 1 — instance-type t2.micro — key-name MyArthKey — security-group-ids sg-01b33e2b5c84ea0ce

• Run below command to setup wordpress — ( I have these command in a file “install” now I will run this file “install”)

  # yum install httpd -y
  # systemctl enable httpd --now
  # amazon-linux-extras install php7.3 -y
  # wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
  # tar -zxf latest.tar.gz

• Check WordPress is running or not ( In my case it is running file if WordPress site is not showing then restart httpd service ) -

Run below command to create Database ( “database2” )Cluster using AWS RDS Service

# aws rds create-db-instance --availability-zone ap-south-1b --db-name database2 --db-instance-identifier testing --vpc-security-group-ids sg-001cad109816edeee --engine mysql --engine-version 5.7.31 --master-username admin --master-user-password redhatadmin --publicly-accessible --db-instance-class db.t1.micro --allocated-storage 20
