    The good news is, based on the diagram looking like it’s straight from AWS docs, there’s a Cloud formation template for all that.
    Bad news, good luck troubleshooting any of it if something breaks

      More good news: There are lots of simpler hosts that are more deserving of your money than Jeff Bezos.

          Depends on your region and use-cases.

          As fellow german I luckily have an answer for smaller projects, where my non-techy mother-in-law hosts her own business wordpress since years without any issues. It’s just a simple webhoster with ssh-login.

          Best thing: it’s pay-what-you-want. My first projects were 1€/mo because i was broke; nowadays I voluntary pay a bit more.

    Arstechnica runs on WordPress on AWS, and they have a really nice series of articles about it. Sure, you could use just one EC2 instance for everything, but on a high traffic website you would need a bit more.

      But how many sites really are high traffic?

      That’s the thing with almost all of the cloud stuff: reasonable at scale, but overcomplicated garbage for 95% of the users.

    The equivalent of “just configure && make && make install bro, it’s super easy”

    (it never is)

    Edit: Alright, is it just my browser or does lemmy not know how to hand ampersands? Test: && && & &
