The Ordinary Experts Drupal Pattern is an open-source AWS CloudFormation template that offers an easy-to-install AWS infrastructure solution for quickly deploying a Drupal project, using both AWS and Drupal best practices. The template makes it easy to spin up a production-ready, full-feature infrastructure ready to host scalable Drupal app in the AWS cloud. This template provides a base Drupal application or can be provided with an existing Drupal project. Based on the environment set-up, our stack can run Drupal versions 8.8 and above, with Drupal 9 as the default Drupal installation.
Automatically configured to support auto-scaling through AWS Autoscaling Groups, this solution leverages an EFS file system to share user generated content between application servers. Additionally, our solution includes a CodePipeline which actively monitors a deployment location on AWS S3 making continuous integration and deployment throughout your infrastructure easy.
The template ensure multi-level security by incorporating AWS IAM for federated access to resources with least privilege and AWS managed keys and Secret Manager to manage secrets for encryption of data at rest and in transit. More information regarding the security features are available in the deployment guide.
We support multiple availability zones using an RDS Aurora MySQL cluster and Amazon's integrated options to distribute infrastructure.
