This repo is designed to provide an automated pipeline for the creation of a scalable LAMP stack with a simple app (Drupal CMP) running on AWS via a cloudFormation template.

There are two CFN's here

1. lamp.yaml = a scalable LAMP stack running a multi AZ, ALB web server on one or more AWS Linux AMI's. once up you will be given the output of the APACHE webserver with a welcome message
2. lamp-drupal.yaml is my second script based on my learnings in and around the deployment of LAMP trying to find a simple app to show the benefit of the stack on AWS.

• Log into AWS
• Head to CloudFormation
• Select "upload a template to S3"
• Specify Stack name
• Add Allocated storage "5gb" is default
• Select DB Class "db.t2.micro" is default
• Add a "DBPassword"
• Add a "DBUser"
• Select EC2 instance type "t2.micro" is default
• Select your EC2 Keypair name
• Select your preference for MultiAZ
• Select your SSH location config (access is open to 0.0.0.0/0)
• Add some subnets (your current subnets should be listed)
• Select your VPC ID (your current VPC's should be listed)
• Select your desired web server capacity "1" is default
• Add tags (if desired)
• Add CloudWatch alarm ARN (id desired)

• EC2 (with "deletion in use" policy applied)
• PHP
• Apache
• MySQL
• Drupal

• An AWS account
• A valid VPCid
• AWS CLI access
• A valid EC2 keypair
• A Valid elastic IP
• IAM permissions to launch the aforementioned components via CFN
• An Existing EC2 Keypair to enable SSH to the instance

• Automate notifications for stack status
• Add webhooks for Slack notifications

If all works according to plan your should have a working Wordpress URL in the CFN outputs.

Provide a Cloud formation template defining a redundant, secure and cost-effective LAMP stack within AWS.

Provide documentation describing your environment Provide a link to a public git repository hosting the template (committing frequently so we can see how your solution progressed)

Provide a small application that will run on the infrastructure (written in PHP that connects to the MySQL database) Notes: Apache, PHP or MySQL not your thing? Feel free to swap any of these out for an alternate technology.
