AWS LAMP Stack Automated Deployment Script

Overview

This bash script automates the deployment of a complete LAMP stack environment on AWS using the AWS CLI. It's designed to run in the AWS CloudShell or any bash terminal with AWS CLI installed. It provides a modular installation approach with various optional components.

Quick Start

1. Log into your AWS Management Console
2. Open AWS CloudShell
3. Run the command below in the AWS CloudShell terminal:

bash <(curl -sL tinyurl.com/awsLamp)

NOTE

• If you run the script above with no flags it creates a clean Ubuntu instance on your AWS account under EC2.
• If you add the optional flags below it installs the associated software.
• This script should take about 3 minutes to complete if all software is installed.
