A hands-on approach, for running, scaling and cross-cloud migrating of Kubernetes enabled WordPress sites presented at WordCamp Vienna 2018 Hosting larger setups is a common challenge for the passionate and experienced WordPress developer, who will probably find himself re-inventing the infrastructure wheel. The easier alternative at a first look is a managed WordPress hosting, but that’s a “walled-garden”, which comes bundled with the tech lock-in, opacity and possibly limited choices regarding your data. Here comes the need of an open infrastructure project for highly available and scalable WordPress, suitable for use-cases ranging from publishing, to user generated content and e-commerce. In the same time, controlling costs and making general-purpose cloud platforms more WordPress-aware is a consequence of this endeavour.
