https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/home

Once you've created the RDS Instance,

connect to it in command line mysql -hRDShostaddress -uUsername -p create database wordpress;

Now when you modify wp_config.php, keepall of these configuration changes in mind.

Create as many databases as you'd like in

RDS, pay attention to scale and size

What you should know?

You can take your ElasticIP and use withyour DNS service to point domain to server Route53 is the best DNS service for AWS (cheap)

Use Amazon RDS instead of localhost tohost your database, S3 to store your files.

Amazon CloudFormation has a WordPressblog stack both for single and RDS
