I love it, because it is not an over exaggeration like it happens most of the time with memes, but actual, real diagram for WordPress.

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

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.

Gets a $3000 bill because they picked the wrong instance type.

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: && && & &

Gotta do that for my blog. It'll score me my next job. Might cost me $300 a month for a blog no one reads.

If a basic Wordpress on aws (no load balancers or auto scaling) is all you need… it is super easy to run on aws. Like a few clicks easy. https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/projects/wordpress/

Been out of the game a long time. Is Wordpress still used heavily or are people shifting to other platforms? For all the easy power it had, it always required convincing to do what it wasn't originally intended to do. Dunno if that's still the case but seems it.

Last time I tried aws, took me like four hours to figure that I had to borrow another IP address (different than the ip I received when created the instance) in order point it at my domain. Took me a long time find that option in the menu too

Edit:added cohesion and some punctuation.

Why would you need autoscaling for the bastion server?

From my personal experience, AWS is extremely powerful (especially on security and networking). If you cross the learning curve, and know automation or Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform) then it's fast and easy to build almost any architecture.

But yes, it's overkill for a simple website or a simple setup (if one is not familiar with AWS).

Just use webinoly baremetal and call it a day
