Bitnami caused us an even bigger headache by being very difficult to update (apt-get doesn't update the bitnami wrapped AMP stack). We decided to get full control of our box by setting up a stock Debian LAMP stack on AWS using Puppet and git to manage our sites. Here's a gentle introduction on how we did it.

He guides you through the entire process:

  • Setting up a micro instance on EC2
  • Signing up for unfuddle (for git)
  • Installing Puppet (standalone)
  • Setting up your git repository to point to unfuddle
  • The needed Puppet configuration files to get the WordPress instance deployed

Complete code (and commands) are provided in the post.
