Building a WordPress website using cloud infrastructure is an excellent practical project for
foundation students. By leveraging the Microsoft Azure for Students subscription (which
provides $100 USD in free credits without a credit card), you can deploy a scalable, enterprise-
grade WordPress site in minutes.
This step-by-step guide walks you through deploying WordPress using Azure App Services,
which is a Fully Managed Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). This means Azure handles the OS, web
server configuration, and security patches, allowing you to focus entirely on building your
website.
