Dear all,

I decided to build my own blog site and post somethings about IT, Cloud and other topics related to.

As a Cloud Solution Architect, while I build solutions for my Customers, I realized that some solutions can also be useful in private and everyday life at low costs of ownership.

For example, let’s start with this blog: it is built on AWS, using an EC2 instance (small size at this moment), where inside it has WordPress, phpMyAdmin, MySQL DB, Nginx, and a valid SSL certificate for valerioagosto.com domain.

For Public Domain and related DNS I used AWS Route 53 where A records www.valerioagosto.com and valerioagosto.com exists and forwards requests to Instance where site is published.

Amazon SES is used as an SMTP managed service to send email from my site to final users.

Next step will be to use Amazon CDN (Cloudfront) to publish my site and activate a Web Application Firewall to mitigate external attacks.

Stay Tuned.
