Sitefinity on AWS with CloudFormation
With the ever growing adoption of cloud hosted web services, a very popular choice is the Amazon Web Services provider (AWS). Since CloudFormation is the recommended and probably easiest service you could use to automate the provisioning and configuration of your web service in AWS, we present you a basic CloudFormation Sitefinity template. It can be used to create a single web server instance setup with few clicks or as a starting point for your custom setup.
The basic setup consist of two main resources:
- Amazon EC2 Windows Server 2012 R2 instance configured from the latest public amazon basic image using Powershell desired state configuration as the Sitefinity web server.
- Amazon RDS MS Sql express instance that is provisioned and configured to be accessible from the web server instance.
The template and some of its external dependencies can be found in the SitefinityAWS github repo.
