Ghost Deployment with WordPress Alternative Publishing Platform
This deployment launches Ghost within a secure and scalable AWS infrastructure, providing a complete environment for self-hosted publishing, newsletter delivery, and membership management. The AMI is preinstalled and configured, allowing users to start writing, manage subscribers, and customize themes immediately after launch. Users can access the admin dashboard through a web browser and configure publishing settings, member tiers, and integrations.

CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
