How to connect WordPress to AWS Aurora serverless MySQL? - wordpress

I want to get advantage is Aurora serverless since my current DB has over 1 million records. I can connect to it from my computer via ssh to ec2 in the same vpc with Aurora.
I installed WP in the same ec2, yet WP can't connect to it, any idea is it supported, or it should be used only with serverless platform by API?
Thanks,

You should be able to use AWS aurora serverless with WordPress as well as other PHP stacks, WordPress is compatible with MySQL 5.6 which serverless built on
the only thing I can think of is to make sure your database security group has access to the ec2 server and both are under same VPC

What the architecture would be to run such an installation?

Running Wordpress as an Application on a Service instead of a VM with AWS

I currently running WordPress installed on a VM's hosted by Azure and looking into migrating from using Virtual servers to hosting a WebApp for our WordPress site rather than having to upgrade the everything on the server when its build gets obsolete.
I am aware of the Azure Marketplace Wordpress Application option, but I was wondering if AWS had something similar or what its closest equivalency would be rather than just creating an EC2 VM.
If you want to run Wordpress on AWS, it means running it on an EC2 instance, which is pretty much the same as you are already doing on a Azure VM.
WordPress is now on Azure Market place and you don't need a VM to host your WordPress.
It will just create a Web Site in Azure and installs WordPress there, then you can make your changes to the WordPress instance if you wish:
use this link to get started:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/partners/wordpress/wordpress/
This way you don't need to worry about the VM management and you just use a hosting service and have the benefits of Cloud like Scaling out/up etc.

Host nodejs app and Wordpress website

I need to host 2 solutions. The first is a nodejs app which should be consumed using sockets from various client apps (mobile, website...). Then, a Wordpress website. Both must have the same database because data has to be shared between the website and the nodejs application.
So, which cloud provider can be the best to host these two projects ? Something like AWS or Azure (Websites, cloudservice, VM, ... ?), or OVH or Ikoula which are really less expansive.
Thanks!
I know AWS will work. I haven't really dealt with the others yet. I use AWS for quite a few projects and so far I've had no issues.

Migration of the wordpress from Azure to windows instance of AWS?

I'm currently hosting the wordpress using the Azure IIS mysql for my blog and would like to move to the Amazon web services (AWS) windows instance.
Does anyone know how to migrate properly I have read plenty of sites but it seems to be more focused on linux
Regards,
Your Mysql is a cleardb instance. You must connect to it using MySQL Workbench and export data.
You can do the same with wordpress through wp-admin

Hosting java web application with oracle database

I have been trying to find out how best I can host a JavaEE5 web application with Oracle11g database. I have got my domain registered and currently pointing to my Jboss web application on my laptop.
I would like to host it for a while untill my application gets finished and ideally would like to go on hosting on a professional company server when I start getting increased traffic.
Firstly, to host at my home I want to use a separate dedicated server. Can you please let me know what options I have? Because I have no clue on what to purchase.
Secondly, when I want to go with a professional company server, which ones should I consider that supports JavaEE5 deployments and Oracle11g databases? Let me know if you need more details.
Personally I have experience with OpenShift. Free plan offers JBoss AS 7.1.1 and MySQL or PostgreSQL, but it's very slow (you might want to try these two my demo applications: personal site and e-shop). Paid plans looks for me too expensive here. This solution might be appropriate if you don't wanna configure application server and database.
Another possible solution is Amazon Web Services. There are such services as Elastic Beanstalk that offers you different servers including Tomcat, Amazon Relational Database Service that offers you Oracle Database as well as other RDMSes, and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud that enable you install JBoss AS yourself even if Beanstalk with Tomcat doesn't work for you. It looks like AWS is cheaper than OpenShift, but as for me, EC2 is still expensive. Check if price works for you. Buy the way AWS has a free tier the first year of usage that includes EC2 instance. So if you're sure that your project will long less than a year, it might be a good choice. ASW would be appropriate for you if you are ok with Tomcat instead of application server and you don't wanna configure application server and database.
Also I heard positive comments about Digital Ocean, but never tried it. It looks like it offers only infrastructure as service (like AWS EC2) so you will have to install and configure all servers yourself.
