Centralized hosting has accelerated deployments and now supports high-traffic landing pages
Pros and Cons
  • "Since switching to Wordpress on Amazon Linux, I estimate that we have reclaimed about 60% of our time back on deployments."
  • "I notice lagging when using Wordpress on Amazon Linux in the cloud, especially during high traffic."

What is our primary use case?

I most often use Wordpress on Amazon Linux for corporate websites and landing pages. The company I am on contract for is a travel and tour agency. We create a lot of landing pages, and we also have a corporate website for the main company and then subsidiaries.

I use Wordpress on Amazon Linux to manage those landing pages and the corporate website with resources like EC2, EFS, RDS, and load balancers in front of it. I install Wordpress on the EC2 instance, and when we have to create another Wordpress installation, I launch a new EC2 instance and set it up. The resources I use are RDS, EFS, EC2, auto-scaling, and ALB for availability.

The setup of using EC2, EFS, RDS, and load balancers helps with scaling and performance for my landing pages and corporate sites because the ALB helps with spreading of traffic to distribute it. When we launch a new landing page and the demand is high, we also have auto-scaling in place. I usually limit it to three and maintain a minimum of one. This is how I keep the performance optimized for the landing pages and corporate website.

What is most valuable?

The best features that Wordpress on Amazon Linux offers include tight integration with AWS services such as EC2, EBS, and CloudWatch. It also optimizes the performance on the AWS infrastructure, which I really appreciate, along with the security and the fact that it is lightweight.

The ease of use is definitely a feature I appreciate, along with no extra licensing cost, which is great. The fact that it is lightweight and fast to deploy is something I appreciate. I also appreciate the security updates and the long-term support.

Wordpress on Amazon Linux has positively impacted my organization by reducing our provisioning time. It takes less time to deploy it, which is one thing that has benefited my team and the organization. We do not spend as much time on deployments.

What needs improvement?

I notice lagging when using Wordpress on Amazon Linux in the cloud, especially during high traffic. I wish that there was CloudFront integration, as that would be great. Having CloudWatch to monitor CPU, memory, networks, and all of that would also be beneficial.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Wordpress on Amazon Linux for under a year.

Hosting has become faster and cheaper while custom control saves significant time and effort
Pros and Cons
  • "Wordpress on Amazon Linux has positively impacted our organization by saving us lots of time, effort, and cost."
  • "Wordpress on Amazon Linux can be improved in some ways, like by providing some tools that allow us to upload our theme or website contents and related website things, and also regarding certificate rotations to make it easy, and it can be better in sessions."

What is our primary use case?

We are using Wordpress on Amazon Linux for hosting our WordPress websites, customizations, and themes. We have one e-commerce website that we have hosted on Amazon Linux on Wordpress, and we are currently running our website on that.

What is most valuable?

The best features Wordpress on Amazon Linux offers include speed better than Windows Servers, being cheap, and the ability to enter into the server and customize based on my preference or based on what I want.

Regarding the speed improvements I have noticed compared to Windows Servers, on Windows Server, startup times and other startup application times took time to boot up our machine and server, and also website. Using Linux, it has become faster with not much boot time or startup times.

Regarding cost, Windows has some licensing and server fees that are very high, but on Linux, we do not have that much cost, so using Amazon Web Services (AWS) has become cheaper as we do not have to pay that much money compared to Windows.

Wordpress on Amazon Linux has positively impacted our organization by saving us lots of time, effort, and cost. About 20 to 30% of our time has been saved.

What needs improvement?

Wordpress on Amazon Linux can be improved in some ways, like by providing some tools that allow us to upload our theme or website contents and related website things, and also regarding certificate rotations to make it easy, and it can be better in sessions.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We have been using Windows Server for our WordPress because Windows was becoming expensive for us, and we have switched to Wordpress on Amazon Linux.

How was the initial setup?

I purchased Wordpress on Amazon Linux through the AWS Marketplace. My experience with pricing is that it is not that much, and the setup is easy using the marketplace AMI; we just need to add our details, so it is easy.

What about the implementation team?

We are just using it without any business relationship with the vendor other than being a customer.

What was our ROI?

We have saved about 20-30% of our time, and regarding money, we can say that 30-40% of our money is also saved.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did not evaluate other options, as we had a mindset that we wanted to use Amazon Linux for WordPress.

What other advice do I have?

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Wordpress on Amazon Linux an eight. I chose eight out of ten because it needs some improvement. You can use Wordpress on Amazon Linux if you want to save your time, save your money, and want everything handy, such as every patch, update, and other things that you want to manage by yourself.

Digital marketing team has created drag‑and‑drop web pages and streamlines daily campaigns
Pros and Cons
  • "The best features Wordpress on Amazon Linux offers include being lightweight and working very well, providing great performance."

    What is our primary use case?

    I have been using Wordpress on Amazon Linux for the last one year.

    My main use case for Wordpress on Amazon Linux is that I have designed some websites for the company, including a landing page for the digital marketing they are using. I deployed Wordpress, and the page is designed by the digital marketing team, who are handling the digital marketing through it.

    It is only for websites.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features Wordpress on Amazon Linux offers include being lightweight and working very well, providing great performance. I have designed more than 100 pages, and daily we are designing one to two pages for digital marketing, and that is working excellently.

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux has positively impacted our organization because previously, I had to create websites without a Wordpress setup. When I started exploring Wordpress setup options, I found a solution in Wordpress on Amazon Linux, and I purchased it.

    This solution made things easier and improved our workflow because the digital marketing team is using this for designing websites, and their feedback is that it is very beneficial. We can create web pages easily using drag and drop, which is much easier instead of writing HTML code; the page will be created through drag and drop.

    What needs improvement?

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux is stable and improved, and I think no changes are necessary. If any possibility for prompt engineering arises, where I can give a prompt and it will create a website, then it will be very useful in the current marketing trend.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been working in my current field for the last five years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Its scalability is good.

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux is scalable for my needs because it adds more pages smoothly.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I did not previously use any solution. Once a digital marketing person came into our company, they requested Wordpress, and I explored and found Amazon Linux is the best option based on review and research, so I purchased it.

    What was our ROI?

    I have seen a return on investment because I can create many HTML pages for digital marketing, and for digital marketing, it is very helpful for non-coding individuals to create a website and conduct digital marketing.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Before choosing Wordpress on Amazon Linux, I evaluated some cPanel options. They offer Wordpress for websites too, but I found it is not relevant for long pages as it tends to hang, presenting some issues; therefore, I opted for Amazon Linux.

    What other advice do I have?

    I advise that if they want a good performance website for digital marketing, they can use Wordpress on Amazon Linux. It will be very beneficial for them. I have given this review a rating of 8.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Public Cloud

    Hosting multiple client sites has improved deployment speed but still needs better user access control
    Pros and Cons
    • "Wordpress on Amazon Linux positively impacts my organization by making the management of deployments easier from a developer's perspective, providing full access for me to manage according to my ease."
    • "I don't think much improvement is required for Wordpress on Amazon Linux, but from my experience, there might be aspects related to user access that could be better."

    What is our primary use case?

    As a DevOps engineer, I have worked multiple times with Wordpress on Amazon Linux, having deployed multiple Wordpress websites on Amazon Linux over almost two years, which works great despite not being every day.

    My main use case for Wordpress on Amazon Linux involves setting up the domain on the server using NGINX or sometimes Apache web server, then simply deploying, installing, and setting up Wordpress on Amazon Linux to use it via the given URL.

    Mostly, my deployments of Wordpress on Amazon Linux are for clients because I'm working as a DevOps engineer with multiple clients who require Wordpress for their businesses, although I sometimes deploy it for the company developers and occasionally for my personal clients.

    Regarding my main use case or how I deploy Wordpress on Amazon Linux, I download the whole Wordpress directory on the server, set up my directory, and most times it depends on the client's use case, whether they have a database such as RDS for Amazon, or if they require the same database on the same server, which I also set up accordingly.

    What is most valuable?

    With the deployment perspective, Wordpress on Amazon Linux offers an easy setup which makes it easy for me to manage my development, whether that be for myself, clients, or any product.

    When I say easy setup, the compatibility stands out as one of the main factors required for any deployment, along with performance being the second most important feature, both of which are good in Amazon Linux making Wordpress run smoothly on the server for high website availability.

    With full access to the server, I can manage the deployment and use case of Wordpress on Amazon Linux with security restrictions, so these aspects are what Amazon Linux provides that are beneficial for me.

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux positively impacts my organization by making the management of deployments easier from a developer's perspective, providing full access for me to manage according to my ease.

    Troubleshooting is very easy, and being able to make my site highly available and scalable is a significant advantage I have due to the server's compatibility.

    What needs improvement?

    I don't think much improvement is required for Wordpress on Amazon Linux, but from my experience, there might be aspects related to user access that could be better.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I'm Mohammed Muzammil and I'm working as a DevOps engineer at Jarex, with up to two years of experience as a DevOps engineer working mostly on the cloud platforms with AWS, alongside tools such as Linux, Docker, and Terraform.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    There are no reliability issues with Wordpress on Amazon Linux, but as with any technology, I can expect some downtime, although it is overall quite stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Wordpress on Amazon Linux is scalable and can handle growth easily, allowing me to utilize additional services for any required scalability.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    Before choosing Wordpress on Amazon Linux, I evaluated options such as Hostinger because it is cheaper than AWS, but AWS offers better professionalism and availability.

    What was our ROI?

    I have seen a return on investment by deploying multiple Wordpress sites on the same server, reducing costs by utilizing a lightweight solution, and by adding CI/CD, I have also reduced the time for applying new changes.

    What other advice do I have?

    My advice for others looking into using Wordpress on Amazon Linux is to consider the server's compatibility and excellent performance for running Wordpress effectively.

    I have no additional thoughts other than if you are considering compatibility and performance, Amazon Linux is always a good choice for hosting Wordpress. I would rate this solution at three out of ten for customer service.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Public Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
