In this tutorial we will learn how to deploy a highly available and automatically scalable containerized installation of popular WordPress CMS, reaping all benefits of modern technologies offered by mainstream public cloud providers such as AWS. We will deploy our containerized WordPress installation on their EKS kubernetes infrastructure, and we will store our website files on their S3 storage service, backed by their CDN (content delivery network) service, thus serving website visitors from geographically close locations, minimizing the lag and improving their overall experience. Biggest advantage of using containerized services is the easiness of implementation of high-availability and more importantly – automatic scalability! This tutorial is of course short and generalized, but with a little bit more work you will be able to set your system in such way that at any given moment it will only use the right amount of resources it needs for smooth operation, drastically cutting down hosting costs when visits are low, and be able to automatically deploy more when visits go up, keeping operation smooth at all times.
