Abstract

This paper digital landscape, ensuring high availability, scalability, and security for web applications is crucial. This project focuses on deploying a secure and scalable WordPress website on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using industry best practices. By leveraging AWS services such as EC2, Auto Scaling, RDS, S3, VPC, IAM, and Security Groups, this deployment achieves high performance, reliability, and security.

The architecture includes Amazon EC2 instances running WordPress in an Auto Scaling Group, ensuring seamless horizontal scalability. Amazon RDS is used for the MySQL database, providing managed, high-performance, and fault-tolerant data storage. Amazon S3 is integrated for media storage, reducing server load and improving content delivery. A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is configured to establish a secure and isolated network environment. IAM roles and policies enforce strict access control, while Security Groups protect against unauthorized access.

To enhance security, HTTPS is enabled using an SSL certificate, and AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) is employed to mitigate threats such as SQL injection and DDoS attacks. Automated backups and monitoring solutions like CloudWatch and AWS Backup ensure data integrity and real-time performance tracking.

This project demonstrates a robust WordPress hosting solution that dynamically scales to handle traffic spikes while maintaining strong security standards. It serves as an ideal model for businesses seeking a cloud-based, resilient WordPress deployment on Aws.

Key words:  WordPress hosting, Amazon Web Services (AWS), EC2, Auto Scaling, RDS, S3, VPC, IAM, Security Groups, HTTPS, SSL certificate, AWS WAF, DDoS protection, SQL injection mitigation, CloudWatch, AWS Backup, high availability, scalability, cloud security, performance monitoring, managed database, media offloading, resilient architecture, and secure cloud deployment.
