A high-level AWS specialist is needed to migrate 30 WordPress sites from a traditional leased server to AWS Lightsail. This is not a "simple" migration; it requires a strategic split-infrastructure setup for an upcoming app launch. This is the first step in a series of projects; successful and timely work will lead to additional opportunities. Three of these sites will require a GitHub deployment workflow, so familiarity with Git in a WordPress environment is required. The Project: Consolidation: Move 29 low-traffic/static sites onto a shared, cost-optimized Lightsail instance. VIP Setup: Create a standalone, high-performance Lightsail environment for a flagship domain ([login to view URL]) targeting users in CA and MI. Performance: Implement Redis object caching and Lightsail CDN for the flagship site. Reliability: Set up a Load Balancer and a "Golden Image" workflow for manual horizontal scaling during influencer surges. Management: Install a lightweight control panel (e.g., CloudPanel) for simplified plugin and environment management. Security & Requirements: You must be comfortable working via an IAM User following the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP). You must demonstrate proficiency with WP-CLI, database optimization, and Linux permissions. To Apply: Please start your proposal by stating which AWS Region is best suited for this project given the target audience. Technical Screening Questions: How will you handle the SSL certificate setup for the Lightsail Load Balancer to ensure the site doesn't experience 'mixed content' errors or infinite redirect loops? For the 'Community' instance, how will you configure Bitnami/Linux permissions so I can upload images via SFTP, while ensuring the webserver (WordPress engine) maintains write access to those same directories? Since I have 30 domains, how will you architect the DNS management to avoid the Lightsail 6-zone limit while maintaining a $0 DNS cost?

Hello, The best AWS region for this project is us-east-1 (N. Virginia) for best performance and CDN integration. I have experience with AWS Lightsail, WordPress migrations, Linux servers, and WP-CLI. For your requirements: 1. SSL (no mixed content / redirect issues): Use AWS Certificate Manager with the Lightsail Load Balancer and force HTTPS in WordPress settings. 2. File permissions (SFTP + WordPress): Set shared group permissions so both SFTP user and web server can read/write uploads safely. 3. DNS for 30 domains: Use Cloudflare (free plan) to avoid Lightsail DNS limits and keep costs at $0. I can also help with Redis caching, performance setup, GitHub deployments, and scaling setup. I am available to start immediately and can plan the migration step by step. Warm regards, Harpreet Singh

Hello, I will approach migrating 30 WordPress sites to AWS Lightsail with a strategic split-infrastructure plan: 29 low-traffic sites consolidated on a cost-optimized shared Lightsail instance, and a dedicated, high-performance environment for the flagship then-go.com. I’ll implement Redis caching and Lightsail CDN for speed, set up a Load Balancer, and create a Golden Image workflow for easy horizontal scaling during influencer surges. A lightweight control panel (CloudPanel) will simplify plugin and environment management, while Git workflows will be applied to the three sites needing deployment automation. I’ll work via an IAM user under PoLP and ensure WP-CLI, database optimization, and Linux permissions are solidly implemented. What is your single most critical deadline for the flagship deployment, and are there any must-have features (e.g., regional routing, specific Redis settings) you want prioritized in the first sprint? Best regards, Muhammad Awais

US East (Ohio) is the best fit for this project. It offers strong performance for users in both California and Michigan while keeping costs lower than regions like Northern California. I currently manage WordPress and WooCommerce infrastructure for US based clients, including server migrations, performance tuning, and Git based deployments. I’m comfortable with AWS lightsail, redis, cloudpqnel, WP CLI, SSL configuration, and linux permissions. For SSL, I would terminate HTTPS at the lightsail load balancer, configure wordpress to respect the X forwarded proto header, and force HTTPS site URLs to prevent mixed content issues and redirect loops. For SFTP uploads I’d use shared group ownership with setgid permissions so both the SFTP user and the web server can write to wp content/uploads safely. To avoid the lightsail DNS zone limit I’d keep DNS at the existing registrars and point each domain’s A record to the appropriate static IPs, which keeps DNS costs at $0. The architecture you described is exactly how I’d approach it consolidate 29 low traffic sites onto a cost optimized instance and give the flagship site its own dedicated environment with redis, CDN, and load balancing for scalability. I’m available to start right away and would be happy to help execute this migration and set up a clean, scalable AWS foundation for your future projects.

Hi, this project involves migrating multiple WordPress sites to AWS Lightsail, which requires careful orchestration of infrastructure and application state. The real engineering risk lies in orchestrating seamless migrations with minimal downtime while maintaining data integrity across all instances. I usually structure migration workflows to separate infrastructure provisioning, data synchronization, and DNS cutover phases to reduce risk and enable rollback. Although my primary expertise is in AI and backend system architecture, I understand the critical importance of reliable orchestration and automation in cloud migrations. Systems designed with clear separation of concerns and automated validation steps are essential for long-term maintainability and scalability. I can help by outlining a migration orchestration pipeline and reviewing synchronization strategies to minimize downtime and data loss. Thanks, Hercules

US East (N. Virginia) us-east-1 is best suited for low-latency access to CA/MI users with optional us-west-2 DR. Hello, I understand you're migrating 30 WordPress sites to AWS Lightsail with a split architecture: 29 consolidated low-traffic sites plus 1 high-performance VIP instance, along with Redis caching, CDN, load balancing, Git-based workflows, and scalability planning for future traffic surges. I will design a secure and cost-optimized Lightsail architecture using WP-CLI for migrations, CloudPanel/Bitnami hardening, Redis object caching for performance, and Lightsail CDN for the VIP site. SSL will be configured via ACM/Let’s Encrypt with proper Load Balancer routing to avoid redirect loops and mixed-content issues. For DNS, I will centralize management using Cloudflare to bypass Lightsail’s hosted zone limits while keeping costs at $0. IAM will follow least-privilege principles, and SFTP permissions will be configured for safe shared directory access without breaking WordPress write requirements. I have handled large-scale WordPress-to-AWS migrations with performance tuning, zero-downtime deployment, and automated scaling workflows. You can also view my portfolio here: (https://www.freelancer.com/u/Feriver) Which DNS provider are you currently using, and are you open to Cloudflare for centralized management?
