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

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

How to connect WordPress to AWS Aurora serverless MySQL?

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

How to deploy asp.net webapp in azure virtual machine

I am quite new to azure and need a quick pointer to how to host an asp.net website in Azure VM. Thanks for your help in advance.
A little background...
We were using a windows server 2012 R2 and were hosting the site in IIS 6. This was an intranet site. Now we are migrating to public cloud so that it is accessible over internet. For this we have acquired an Azure VM (Windows OS). We have installed Visual studio 2013 and SQL server 2012 here. I have installed azure core SDK too.
Here are my questions:
What do I use instead of IIS to host? (Because I am not able to find any related app in azure VM)
Do I need to buy any more licenses for the same?
Should I host it in IIS only and because it is in public cloud, will it be accessible over internet?
Appreciate your help!
Since you have chosen the Infrastructure as a service ( IaaS) route you have to simply replicate the setup that you have on premises.
if IIS component is not there you just have to enable it in windows features.
If you do not want to use IIS you can explore self hosted asp.net applications.
Since you have chosen the Windows server VM image and created the VM you do not need to pay for anything additional for windows license.
By default only 2 endpoints( ports) will be open in a Windows VM. 1 for remote desktop and other for powershell remoting.
refer this post for enabling endpoints for you hosted applications.

You have two options basically
Use Azure Paas - Here you would host your existing application as a Cloud service using a web role and a Azure SQL Database. This might mean some changes to the existing application but would need less management from you. You can find the migration steps here
Use Azure Iaas - This is pretty much what you are trying to do. Host your application to a VM and manage all the required software (IIS,Sql server etc) on your own. Although this option might be easier in terms of migrating your application it involves managing the infrastructure on your own. Here is a link on how to install IIS on a Azure VM.
You don't need any additional licenses since you are paying for the VM which includes all required licenses. In case you decide to use SQL Server as Iaas you can also use your existing SQL Server license when running SQL Server on an Azure VM.

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.

Collaborating on a wordpress web application with a database hosted with aws

a group of four need to create a web application using Wordpress. I am using wamp to host the website locally and I have connected it to a database created using aws RDS. The goal is to upload my project to github and have all members be able to work on the app on their personal computers while being able to retrieve and modify data from the same database. I tried cloning to web app on my second computer but the website would not load. Any thoughts or recommendations?
