AWS Networking and Security for Scalable WordPress Sites

Deploying a website is simple, but configuring it to handle high traffic securely requires a solid foundation in cloud networking. This text-based course guides you through establishing a resilient AWS infrastructure, ensuring your WordPress site remains secure, responsive, and highly available under load. You will transition from basic hosting concepts to designing robust, multi-tier cloud architectures. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational cloud networking concepts, including subnets, IP addressing, and Virtual Private Clouds (VPC). - Configure Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) to distribute incoming web traffic and prevent server overload. - Set up custom domain routing and DNS management using Route 53. - Secure your site with HTTPS by deploying SSL/TLS certificates through AWS Certificate Manager (ACM). - Implement security groups and network access control lists (NACLs) to isolate your database and application layers. - Apply modern security best practices, including automated HTTPS redirection and basic web application protection. You will start by learning core cloud networking terminology and essential security definitions. From there, the written modules walk you through step-by-step configuration scenarios, architecture patterns, and practical troubleshooting exercises. This course is designed for beginners, web developers, and system administrators who want to host WordPress on AWS. No prior cloud infrastructure experience is required to get started.
