Deploy a WordPress Amazon Lightsail instance using Terraform

Lately I’ve been learning about Terraform and getting into the habit of deploying infrastructure as code across different cloud service providers, it’s been a while since I found a use case to provision infrastructure on AWS.

For inspiration behind this blog post I took a trip down memory lane circa late 2021, when I was going through a WordPress learning phase I initially used Amazon Lightsail for WordPress hosting, for some reason I used to click through the GUI to provision an Amazon Lightsail instance.
