If users are uploading files to your wp site, then you will have to configure some shared file system across VMs.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Configure LB to balance your load between two VMs ( you can use LB available in AWS or Cloudflare etc)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Point your DNS to CF( or whatever the service you are going to use)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">You need a way of monitoring your setup, CF, Two VMs, and DB. There are multiple options for this, but i suggest to use existing services like Site24x7. Reason is, if you are critical about your uptime, you have to be critical about uptime of your monitoring service.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Implement some backup strategy.</li> </ol>Possible problem : If users are logging into your site, you might want to take a look at how to handle session. I guess WP depends  on php sessions, which may store some data locally, if user hits one VM in one request and other VM in the next request, user might get logged out or face issues. You might be able to fix this with shared session storage, may be Redis or Memcached will help.If you need HA and auto scaling, you have to run two K8S clusters in two zones at minimum. That would be very costly compared your current single VM. Without zone redundancy, you can't say you have HA.</blockquote>
