Reliable infrastructure
Optimize your deployment strategy for unparalleled uptime and resilience
- Initialize AMS1 Setup: Begin with a POP2 Managed Databases MySQL in AMS1. While it sets up, prepare a Public Gateway, VPC, and Private Network.
- Deploy WordPress on AMS1: Start a POP2 Instance without a Flexible IP and use a script to launch WordPress. Connect the Instance to the Private Network.
- Load Balancer integration: Establish a Load Balancer in AMS1 (without backends initially) and integrate it with the Private Network.
- WordPress-database link: On the Managed Database MySQL node, set up a “wordpress” database. Configure WordPress to access this database.
- Snapshot & AMS3 replication: Capture a snapshot of the AMS1 Instance volume, store it, and then import it to AMS3. Launch a new POP2 instance in AMS3 from this snapshot and connect it to the Private Network.
- Load Balancer finalization: Set up backends on the Load Balancer to link with both AMS1 and AMS3 instances. Adjust WordPress settings to use the Load Balancer’s IP.
- Backup and Multi-AZ Replica: Backup the WordPress database using Multi-AZ Object Storage. For demonstration, create a Multi-AZ read replica linked to the Private Network.
Scalable workloads
Adapt effortlessly to varying demands, ensuring peak performance under any load.
- Create your Kapsule cluster via Terraform
- Configure horizontal pod autoscaler and cluster autoscaler
- Open Cockpit to monitor Kapsule
- Set Alerts and configure Function to automate event
- CPU consumption increase and reach Control plane limits
- Migration is triggered by the alert
- Dedicated Control Plane set and status is up and running
Secure environment
Fortify your systems with best-in-class security measures, balancing accessibility with protection.
Initial situation
- 2 POP2 Instances and 1 DEV Instance publicly accessible through HTTP and SSH
- 1 SSH key use to handle login
- Scaleway Domain to handle DNS aspects
Scenario
- Create a VPC, assign the range of private IP addresses, and detach the public IPs.
- Create a Public Gateway with a Bastion, to give access to developer teams.
- Manage IAM rights, give the right rights to the right people, and ensure continuity
- Start Secret Manager to manage passwords, API keys, and connection tokens.

Encryption at rest for Instances
Ensuring the security of sensitive information is a top priority for any organization, particularly when it involves storing data on a server. In this regard, implementing encryption at rest for partitions containing application data can serve as a highly effective solution to safeguard valuable data against both external threats and internal breaches.
