WordPress on AWS by FOSSonCloud is a custom AMI + open-source AWS CloudFormation template that provisions a production-ready, AWS infrastructure solution for deploying WordPress 6.9.4.
Overview
WordPress on AWS by FOSSonCloud is an open-source AWS CloudFormation template that offers an easy-to-install AWS infrastructure solution for quickly deploying WordPress, using both AWS and WordPress best practices.
Automatically configured to support auto-scaling through AWS Auto Scaling Groups, this solution leverages an EFS file system to share user generated content and application files (wp-content) between application servers, and SES for sending outbound email. An optional NLB-fronted SFTP endpoint is available for direct file transfer onto the EFS volume.
The template ensures multi-level security by incorporating AWS IAM for federated access to resources with least privilege, AWS managed keys, and Secrets Manager to manage credentials for encryption of data at rest and in transit.
We support multiple availability zones using an RDS Aurora MySQL cluster and EC2 Auto Scaling Groups.
Highlights
- Production-ready WordPress 6.9.4 site on Apache + PHP 8.1
- Integrated with AWS Certificate Manager for HTTPS support
- Logs in CloudWatch Logs, remote access via Session Manager, optional SFTP via NLB

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance size you choose to run this WordPress deployment. Each dimension maps to a specific instance type across several families. The t2 and t3 families cover burstable general-purpose workloads, from nano through 2xlarge. The m5 and m5d families offer balanced compute, memory, and storage up to metal sizes. The c5 and c5d families target compute-heavy needs, while r5 and r5d families provide more memory. Larger instance sizes cost more per hour. Billing is usage-based, and you can cancel anytime, running everything in your own AWS account.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate meters the software running on the EC2 instance size you pick. The deployment also launches other AWS resources on your behalf, including a database cluster, shared file storage, object caching, and a content delivery network. Those underlying AWS resources are billed separately by AWS in your own account.
The software charge meters running instance-hours. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Underlying AWS resources like storage, the database cluster, and file storage may still bill separately even while the instance is stopped. Billing is usage-based, and you can cancel anytime.
You are billed per hour for the single instance type you run. Moving to a size with more compute, memory, or storage changes your hourly rate to that type's rate. The deployment auto-scales EC2 instances to handle traffic, so running more instances adds hourly charges for each active one.

CloudFormation Template v3.1.0
WordPress on AWS by FOSSonCloud deploys a production-ready WordPress site using AWS best practices.
WordPress 7.0.2 is baked into the custom AMI. On first boot, the codebase is copied to EFS and Apache serves from /var/www/wordpress (a symlink into EFS). The WordPress install wizard runs once; database credentials are pre-configured. Customer code changes happen via the WordPress admin UI, via SSM Session Manager onto an instance, or — with EnableSftp=true — via the chrooted wordpress user over the optional NLB-fronted SFTP endpoint.
WHAT'S DEPLOYED
- VPC with public and private subnets (or bring your own VPC)
- Application Load Balancer with ACM certificate for HTTPS
- Auto Scaling Group running Apache 2.4 + PHP 8.1 + WordPress 7.0.2 (Ubuntu 22.04)
- Aurora MySQL 8.0 cluster (multi-AZ)
- EFS for shared wp-content (uploads, themes, plugins) — mounted across all instances
- SES domain identity + msmtp on the instance for outbound email (password reset, notifications)
- Optional NLB-fronted SFTP endpoint with a chrooted wordpress user (toggle via EnableSftp)
- Route53 DNS record
- CloudWatch Logs integration (system + Apache access/error logs)
- AWS Secrets Manager for database credentials and WordPress salts
- IAM roles with least-privilege permissions
REQUIREMENTS
- Route 53 hosted zone for DNS
- ACM certificate for HTTPS
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
Version release notes
Upgrade WordPress to the latest stable release.
- WordPress 7.0.2 (was 6.9.4)
- AMI parameter renamed AsgAmiIdv300 -> AsgAmiIdv310 (routine per-release rename; not a breaking change on its own, but as with any AMI swap, existing stacks pick up the new AMI only on next AsgReprovisionString bump / instance replacement)
No CDK library changes (aws-cdk-lib 2.225.0, oe-patterns-cdk-common 4.5.1 unchanged) and no CloudFormation parameter/resource changes beyond the AMI parameter rename.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Run the stack, providing valid parameters. When the stack creation completes, go to the outputs of the stack and open the URL in your browser to run the WordPress install wizard. Database credentials are pre-configured. To access the application servers, find the EC2 instance in the AWS console and Connect using the Session Manager option. For more detailed instructions, see the GitHub project.
