This topic describes how to use a sample template of Resource Orchestration Service (ROS) to deploy a WordPress environment based on Elastic Compute Service (ECS) and ApsaraDB RDS.
Background information
WordPress is a blog platform that is developed in PHP and paired with a MySQL database. You can use the Create a WordPress Environment Based on ECS and ApsaraDB for RDS sample template of ROS to deploy a WordPress environment by creating an ECS instance that runs CentOS 7 and an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance.
Step 1: Create a stack
Log on to the ROS console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
On the Public Templates page, click the Entry-level Templates tab, enter Create a WordPress Environment Based on ECS and ApsaraDB for RDS in the search box, and then click the search icon to search for the public template.
Click Create Stack.
In the Configure Parameters step, specify the Stack Name parameter and follow the on-screen instructions to configure parameters. The following table describes the parameters in the corresponding sections.
