Integrating Amazon RDS with WordPress

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient and resizable capacity while automating time-consuming administration tasks such as hardware provisioning, database setup, patching and backups. It frees you to focus on your applications so you can give them the fast performance, high availability, security and compatibility they need.

WordPress is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) written in PHP and paired with a MySQL or MariaDB database.

Let’s Begin…

?? Create an AWS EC2 instance

To create an EC2 instance I’m using Amazon Linux 2 image

?? Configure the instance mysql database and apache webserver.

1.   Install httpd

2.  Install PHP

   3. Install WordPress

4. Start httpd service

?? 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.

CREATE DATABASE <database_name>;
