$20 a month for the DO droplet, but out of curiosity what's the monthly bandwidth bill from AWS? That's always the kicker - bandwidth from AWS is not cheap.
Why would he pay AWS anything?
ee site create mysite.com --wpfc --php7 # install wordpress + nginx fastcgi_cache, with php7
ee site create mysite.com --wpredis --php7 # install wordpress + nginx redis_cache with php7
I have yet to see a site of mine, which breaks my limits on a 5$/month droplet.
Why is anyone running WordPress anymore.? So many better options.100s if not 1,000s. The fact that you need elaborate guides to host it one of the most common hosting providers is yet another example. It's junk. Time to move on. Edit: and the down votes are why this piece of garbage lives on. Please stop trying to hide how awful WordPress is. We all know it's terrible. Just because you work on it for a living doesn't…

By serverless I mean version of the wp which could use Google functions ( https://cloud.google.com/functions/ ) or Amazon Lambda ( https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/ ) or Microsoft Azure Functions ( https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/functions/ ) It would provide unlimited and automatic scaling, simplified setup/architecture and we would pay only for what we use.
Most blog content is static, why would you need to use lambda for anything ? you already get automatic scaling by putting static files on S3. What Wordpress functionality would need to be implemented with Lambda ?
Not infeasible to think you could use Lambda to generate a static cache of a WP site onto S3 and update files on demand.

FYI: This post is not about your personal 2-reader a month Wordpress setup but for sites scaling to the size of TC.
FYI: You can run a professional blog on wordpress.com for about $100 a year (highest plan) and it will take millions of visitors. The smallest production instance on AWS is about $100 a month (c4.large) for 1 core (+intel HT) + 4GB ram + a few GB of EBS volume. The setup requires at least 4 hosts, thus that's a start price of $400 a month + the other fees (hardly 10% more :D). It's f * insane to pay more than $400 pe…

Came here to say the same thing - I'd love to see a monthly cost on a setup that looks like this... or anything on AWS. I can run many many WP sites on a $10/month box (not AWS) with proper config tunings.

Please do not use "please" in a passive aggressive manner when you are giving an authoritative command. Use please when you are genuinely requesting someone does something as a favor to you. When you are giving an order, be and adult and just give the order.
I also disagree on characterizing the usage as "passive-aggressive." I would just call it polite. Underscoring your authority with a peremptory tone seems worse to me.

If you're aware of the particulars of how they work, why are t2 instances not a production instance type?
They are cheap, overrallocated, burstable instances with a low quota of CPU usage (about 10% for a t2.micro). They can burst over the quota for short period of time and they can be interrupted for short period of time.
In short, the instance can pause anytime and stop processing traffic.
Try running a production database on that see where it gets you ;)
