You may need to instal AWS CLI:

sudo apt-get install awscli -y

Setup AWSCLI config:

aws configure set profile.default.aws_access_key_id <aws_access_key_id>
aws configure set profile.default.aws_secret_access_key <aws_secret_access_key>
aws configure set profile.default.region ap-southeast-2
aws configure set profile.default.output json

Deploy your wordpress instance

python3 deploy.py -env {Staging|Production}

The stack will create a security group with port 80 open and 22 open to the IP range you specify. It will output the URL which will be .staging.itmatic.com.au (or your domain)
