Bitnami EC2 Administration

Overview

Bitnami provides pre-packaged images for EC2 instances that simplify the deployment of third-party open source software. Instead of manually configuring everything, Bitnami has assembled a well-integrated stack.

SSL Certificate Installation on Subdomain

Instead of using Let’s Encrypt’s certbot tool, Bitnami provides its own utility for certificate management:

sudo /opt/bitnami/bncert-tool

Setup Process

The tool prompts users for the following information:

• Subdomain entry (e.g., test.example.com)
• Option to skip www variant
• HTTP to HTTPS redirect confirmation (select yes)

The installation process takes several minutes and automatically restarts Apache during execution.
