Deploying WordPress to the Cloud

Category: Database

I was curious the other day how hard it would be to actually set up my own blog or rather I was more interested in how easy it is now to do this with containers. There are plenty of platforms that host blogs for you but is it really now as easy to just run one yourself?

Initially I had a go at running this locally on with Docker Compose: Then I can get the list of running containers: And then lastly I had a look to see that this was running correctly: Great!

The next step is to now consider how we are going to run this in AWS, to continue you will need to have an AWS account setup.

Now we have 2 compose files, one that lets us work on this locally and one that lets us run this in the cloud with our RDS instance.
