I've been using Bitnami LAMP quite a bit, especially the images available on Azure Marketplace, but I've just learned they've been deprecated and removed. I'm looking for alternative ways to deploy a LAMP stack for my applications, which are lightweight and don't get much traffic. Any suggestions for what system administrators might be using these days?

Instead of a full LAMP stack, have you considered using an Alpine container with just Apache for serving your applications? If you're open to it, sometimes you can build complex websites using just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without needing a monolithic server setup. It could simplify your deployment and management.
It's good that you're researching options. Have you looked into deploying using Docker? You could run separate containers for your PHP application and your database, which can keep things organized and performant without relying on a full LAMP stack. Plus, it's a widely adopted method these days.
Docker sounds like a cool option! I had not considered that approach for my setup. Thanks for the suggestion!
While that’s an interesting approach, remember these applications are built in PHP, including user login and upload functionalities. It's not just simple static pages we're talking about.
