AWS Lightsail Instance for Docker

This chapter guides you through setting up an Ubuntu Lightsail instance pre-configured for Docker, enabling you to deploy and manage containers for WordPress and MySQL Server quickly.

You’ll learn how to:

• Generate and secure a custom SSH key pair to access the instance.


• Use AWS CLI commands and configuration files to launch your Lightsail instance.


• Apply a user-data script to automatically install Docker, Docker Compose, and supporting tools during creation.


• Assign and attach a static IP address for reliable access.


• Connect via SSH and verify your environment.


• Clean up resources when they’re no longer needed.

By the end, you’ll have a fully operational Lightsail VM ready to run Docker ready for Wordpress in a secure and repeatable way.
