EC2 Instance running Public IP Address

Wordpress on EC2 Site Questions and Reflection 1. Comparison: How does this process differ from traditional in-house server creation? Consider costs, speed, and security. This process differs in-house options because it can be automatically adjusted to accommodate new requirements in terms of processing power and memory storage. It can be easier and quicker to scale an organization’s website when compared to in-house. It can also cost less to implement, since you typically only pay for what you use; with in- house options, servers and software are purchased and set up in order to accommodate traffic and store data in databases. This requires installation, payment for equipment, a location in which to set it up, and dedicated IT personnel who exclusively ensure the

infrastructure runs. Using the cloud has excellent security options overall, featuring 24/7 security monitoring in addition to any other security options you choose to purchase. In- house requires additional costs to keep the servers protected, in terms of both physical intrusion, hardware topology, and software being used. 2. Advantages: Given the quick turnaround in technology, how can the company take advantage of EC2 instances in its testing environments? EC2 has several advantages when it comes to creating testing environments; first, it would be profoundly cheaper and more scalable to run an EC2 instance, especially if the parameters of the test change. If attempting to create an in-house testing environment, the configuration of existing infrastructure – or the purchase of new resources on which to run this testing platform – would be expensive and less scalable when compared to EC2. It can also be very easily transitioned from a testing environment into a live website. 3. Improvement: Was the tutorial easy to follow? What issues did you run into? What are some possible improvements you would give for the EC2 setup process? The tutorial was a bit challenging to use. Even with the assistance from the instructor finding an appropriate and functioning AMI image was challenging. From there things went pretty smoothly until I ran into some issues with running commands in Terminus. For some reason it took me two or three tries to get the Wordpress installation to come up when accessing the webpage. All in All, it would have most likely taken much more time without the tutorial. Admin tools are important for managing content on your WordPress site. Three included admin tools are:

1. Posts: This tool allows you to create, edit, and delete blog posts. You can organize them by categories and tags, and also schedule them for future publication. 2. Pages: With this tool, you can create static pages like About Us or Contact. It offers a more structured and less time-sensitive format compared to blog posts. 3. Media: This tool enables you to upload and manage images, videos, and audio files. You can also organize them into folders and use them in your content. Plug-ins are add-ons that extend the functionality of your WordPress site. They can be used to enhance the design, improve SEO, add e-commerce capabilities, and much more. Aside from phpMyAdmin , a useful plug-in for data management is WP-Optimize . It helps you optimize and clean your database by removing unnecessary data, improving site performance.
