[question] re Migrating an existing AWS site to this new infrastructure #5

Closed michael-newman closed 6 years ago

michael-newman commented 7 years ago

Thank you for the Template... this is great work! Very Much Appreciated!

All appears to be working as expected, and now, we want to run the infrastructure through its paces with the contents (users, posts, plugins, custom code, etc.) of our current singe EC2 Prod site, so I'm looking for any best practices and/or recommendations to basically replicate/promote/copy the contents of our current Prod site into this new much more complex infrastructure. Any suggestions?

Our Goal would be this new infrastructure becomes our new Prod.

Currently, our prod infrastructure is basic: Route53, Cloudfront, Single EC2 (for web & db), and S3.

Thank you, Mike

Since the CloudFront Template already installs WordPress, I used the All-in-one WP Migration tool to migrate content/files/db/etc. from an existing site to this stack--it exported and imported cleanly and successfully on first attempt.

This said, I am experiencing latency issues in the new stack that I am NOT experiencing in the existing site. AWS tech support is trying to narrow down root cause of the latency; but, at the same time, I hope the migration process did not introduce and issues that may cause latency.

Any recommendations on tools/processes re migrating to this new stack that I should consider?
