VPCID	Choose which VPC the Application should be deployed to. An Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a dedicated environment that lets you launch the AWS resources that power your WordPress Pro in an isolated virtual network. If you do not have a VPC, you will need to create one in your VPC Console. For instructions on how to create a VPC, click here for instructions .
PublicSubnet1ID	The ID of the public subnet in Availability Zone 1 in your existing VPC (e.g., subnet-a0246dcd). A subnet is a range of IP addresses contained in your VPC. You can create AWS resources, such as EC2 instances, in specific subnets, enabling you to group network resources more efficiently. If you do not have any existing subnets, you will need to create one in your Subnet Console. For instructions, click here .
PublicSubnet2ID	The ID of the public subnet in Availability Zone 2 in your existing VPC (e.g., subnet-b1236eea). A subnet is a range of IP addresses contained in your VPC. You can create AWS resources, such as EC2 instances, in specific subnets, enabling you to group network resources more efficiently. If you do not have any existing subnets, you will need to create one in your Subnet Console. For instructions, click here .
InstanceType	WordPress Pro runs on a single Amazon Elastic Compute (EC2) instance and is defaulted to run on a recommended t2.large server. Depending on your traffic needs, you can select an instance size from the available options in the menu. To learn more about which instance to choose based on your traffic needs, click here .
KeyName	Name of an existing EC2 KeyPair to enable SSH access to the instances. An Amazon EC2 key pair is a set of security credentials consisting of a public and private key that verify a user’s identity when connecting or communicating with an EC2 instance. Select an existing security group from the menu or configure a new security group using the form provided. If you do not have a Key Pair, you will need to create one in your Key Pair Console. For instructions click here .
HostVolumeSize	Size in GB of root volume.
DeletionPolicy	A Deletion Policy is a configuration that you can set for resources in AWS CloudFormation templates to specify what should happen to the resource when its stack is deleted.
