WordPress Environment with ALB based on my custom Elastic Beanstalk Platform (eb_ubuntu_nginx_php_redis_platform)
This project is for my own custom Elastic Beanstalk platform eb_ubuntu_nginx_php_redis_platform
If you are new to Elastic Beanstalk, you can reference my course on Udemy.
Create the environment by using EB CLI
eb create -p **CUSTOM-PLATFORM-ARN** -c **subdomain_name** -ip **profile_name** --elb-type application -i **instance_type** -k **key_name** --service-role **servicerole** --vpc.id **vpc_id** --vpc.ec2subnets **subnet1,subnet2** --vpc.elbsubnets **subnet1,subnet2** --vpc.securitygroups securitygroup1,securitygroup2 --vpc.elbpublic --vpc.publicip
eb createoptions (Ref the detail official documentation)
