WordPress Cluster Kit
Create an automated enterprise WordPress Cluster Kit v2 solution suitable for large businesses and mission-critical sites. The solution provides high availability for all the elements of the cluster topology. It offers auto-scalable application servers, clustered databases, clustered load balancers (LiteSpeed or NGINX), and optimized GlusterFS storage with failover capabilities.
After clicking the Install button, you’ll be redirected to the PaaS dashboard. The installation window will be automatically opened, where you can specify the required customizations:
- Scaling Strategy - defines automatic horizontal scaling policy (reconfigurable) to handle possible upcoming load growth to avoid WordPress application downtime:
- Low Load - adds 1 application server node if the workload is higher than 70% and removes 1 application server node if the workload goes below 20%
- Medium Load - adds 1 application server node if the workload is higher than 50% and removes 1 application server node if the workload goes below 20%
- High Load - adds 2 application server nodes at once if the workload is higher than 30% and removes 1 application server node if the workload goes below 10%
- Install LiteSpeed High-Performance Web Server - installs LiteSpeed Web Server and Web Application Delivery Controller. This option provides the highest possible speed of website content delivery to the clients via modern HTTP/3 protocol. If disabled, the NGINX web server and load balancer will be installed.
- Two additional features can be enabled for the LiteSpeed server only:
- WordPress Brute Force Attacks Protection - protects WordPress applications from large-scale brute force attacks, which have the potential to gain unauthorized access to a website by repeatedly attempting to guess a valid username and password.
- Web Application Firewall - enables/disables the use of security rules (based on Free ModSecurity Rules from Comodo).
- Install MariaDB Galera Cluster - integrates a multi-primary database cluster based on synchronous replication and InnoDB engine. When using the Galera Cluster, you can perform direct read and write operations to any node. If any single instance goes down, there will be no cluster downtime and no complex failover procedures. If disabled, a primary-primary replication topology of the MariaDB database will be deployed.
- Install Let’s Encrypt SSL with Auto-Renewal - issues and applies a trusted, free certificate for a custom domain with periodical renewal to prevent certificate expiration. The appropriate notifications are sent by email. If disabled, the built-in SSL will be configured (works only for your platform domain).
- Install GlusterFS Cluster - deploys a storage cluster which is an open-source distributed, parallel, fault-tolerant file system. It has a bidirectional synchronization and capacity expansion/reduction with no downtime. Unless you choose it, the regular NFS shared storage will be installed.
- Install WordPress Multisite Network - enables the multisite feature that allows the application to act as a WordPress network hub with several websites. It means that installing WordPress once allows you to run as many sites as you want.
- Install WooCommerce – integrates a free open-source e-commerce plugin (a great platform for a store of any size) designed specifically for WordPress.
