    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.

          I’ve been with digital ocean for more years than I can remember. I love Digital Ocean. Their core product is great, great UI, API, and their new products have been great as well. I’m using their K8s managed install for a year or so now on a product with no issues.

          I believe they have 1 click installs for Wordpresss.

          Here’s a referral code for $200 over 2 months if anyone wants to try it:

            I adore DO. They offer so many good products beyond VMs these days. Their K8s is cheap and their AppEngine stuff is like baby FarGate, sort of. They even offer server less as well. S3, RDS, NLBs, it’s all there 😎

        I’m a huge fan of Fly.io. I deal with Kubernetes on AWS all day at work; Fly gives me the power of Kubernetes without the configuration hell that comes along with it. I just Dockerize my app and push it up.

        Huge bonus points for multi-region support and Anycast IP addresses too. And they support IPv6 which is always a dealbreaker for me.
