Setting up a WordPress site on AWS

This tutorial walks through setting up AWS infrastructure for WordPress, starting at creating an AWS account. We'll manually provision a single EC2 instance (i.e an AWS virtual machine) to run WordPress using Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MySQL.

This tutorial assumes you're relatively comfortable on the command line and editing system configuration files. It is intended for folks who want a high-level of control and understanding of their infrastructure. It will take about half an hour if you don't Google away at some point.

If you experience any difficulties or have any feedback, leave a comment. 🐬

Coming soon: I'll write another tutorial on a high availability setup for WordPress on AWS, including load-balancing multiple application servers in an auto-scaling group and utilizing RDS.

authorized_keys

A method for managing and giving team members access to remote servers without needing to pass around the master .pem key. Generates and sends authorized key files to a list of hosts based on a set of permissions.

fetch_keys_from_github.sh

Generates a new keys/*.txt file for each user defined in permissions.txt when one doesn't already exist. Gets the list by calling out to https://github.com/<user>.keys. After first fetching a set of keys, the list can be paired down if necessary before running upload_keys.sh.
