WordPress Certified by Bitnami and Automattic
Bitnami by VMware | 6.7.1-7-r08 on Debian 12Linux/Unix, Debian 12 - 64-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Simple to setup, works perfectly
WordPress powered by Bitnami is super easy to setup and everything is properly configured once it is. The only thing to know is that it installs in yourdomain.com/wordpress. There is a SSH command that can be run to change it to the root. I'd never needed to use SSH before and fumbled around but eventually figured it out -- it was user error.
I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to run WordPress on AWS.
It's even free if you're on the micro free tier plan.

Wonderful AMI for testing!
We use this AMI for setup a micro-instance for wordpress. We don't have any idea on how to make it, so we use it to setup the environment and after it, we migrate the database and the app.
A wonderful environment!!
Fantastic
A Great AMI - Does exactly what it says on the tin, Wordpress can grab updates with no problems unlike others. Well structured FS. Fast reliable AMI. Thankyou Bitnami!
so far so good
If we can change the default user account when install the wordpress, may be it can become more convenient
Very useful package
Very easy, intuitive and fast solution for publishing WordPress. the process is easy and the wiki is very comprehensive. thank you.
Easy and express setup
The wordpress AMI is completely configurable and easy to use. Wordpress is installed and ready to use in a few seconds.
Login Should be Easily Accessible
All the docs say that the username and password are what is set at installation time. The AWS version comes pre-installed with Wordpress and it takes time to figure out the admin information. For the record, it's user / bitnami. This should be easier to find.
Otherwise, this is an incredibly useful pre-built Wordpress setup for testing.
Very easy to set up, easy enough to customize
This AMI significantly reduced my setup time. I could definitely have started with a basic Ubuntu AMI and installed everything myself, but why spend hours on the basics when I could jump straight into a working stack?
The Bitnami documentation could probably use some work but they've covered most of the really needed questions. It's not too hard to figure out details they've skipped.
I feel a little secure in the knowledge that Bitnami have thought about security in their setup but I haven't really delved into my instance yet to know whether they've got everything set up as I would prefer.
Thanks for a great free AMI
I love all the goodness in this AMI. However, the lack of clearly identified credentials (user/account to shell into the vm; 'bitnami' with your aws key and then the WP credentials, I think are 'user' 'bitnami' Er, you know to disable that account ASAP, right?) are poorly documented.
Approachable enough
Straightforward and did exactly what I needed. There are plenty of great didactic resources available online for the technically disinclined. Thanks Bitnami!
