As a WordPress user this caught my attention – We can deploy a new WordPress environment in just a couple of minutes. the title is misleading, it is actually less than 5 minutes 🙂
There is a QuickStart in the Get Started Menu that will guide you.
The cool thing about a QuickStart is that it will run a terraform script in the background, and we do not need to do any kind of work!
This is the deployed architecture diagram.
We do need to provide a user and password for the administrator.
Once that is done and we press create, all is automatically provisioned.
Under your Compute>Instances you will find the provisioned wordpress instance and with the Public IP Address, you can access it.
https://<publicIP>/wp-admin
And that is that – in just a couple of minutes you have a fully functional wordpress instance.
Personally I use this one to try out new plugins, or to experiment with themes, instead of using my production site.
