WordPress is an open-source CMS originally built as a web publishing platform, quickly becoming a de-facto standard for blogs. Thanks to its huge third-party plugin ecosystem, WordPress has been adopted for use in many different situations never imagined by its creators, including dynamic websites, e-commerce platforms, and online newspapers. It's a terrific software package with a huge user base, but getting the most out of it can be tricky.
This course demonstrates installing and running WordPress on Amazon Web Services. Expert Linux System Administrator David Clinton will guide you through installation, from the easy way (using a Cloudformation template), up to deploying a highly customizable instance on EC2 and RDS. You will learn to use optimization tools like Varnish and Route53 and to monitor availability and costs with CloudWatch.
