Apache HTTP server has been running millions of websites of all varieties and it is one of the most popular open source applications also. The Kurian AMI bakes the latest version of Apache HTTP server software onto the target Linux distribution updated with latest OS patches. A node spun out of this AMI will be ready to be added to a cluster or further configuration immediately.

The AMI has PHP and supporting modules also installed including MySQL client modules. So, the PHP applications can connect remotely to MySQL compatible databases, including AWS RDS Aurora and MariaDB. If a database is needed locally, the LAMP stack AMI by Kurian is recommended instead of this AMI product. Also, the AMI is configured for Ansible to work with the nodes spun up from it.

Kurian has released pre-configured software applications such as Wordpress, Jenkins, databases, LAMP stack, Ansible, DevOps tools, and monitoring applications that are widely used by system administrators and DevOps engineers. For selected Linux distributions hardened images based on CIS benchmark are also available. The Kurian AMIs are built following official installation steps so you do not need to learn any custom procedures if additional configurations need to be done.
