How to deploy a windows developped application using XAMPP on amazon aws free tier using a free windows stack?


I have developped a web application on windows using Xampp and now I would like to deploy it on the cloud. Because my app engine uses a windows specific software I need windows installed on the web server not Linux. I have a free tier bitnami account and a free tier aws account. none of them seem to give me steps on creating a windows based server and how to deploy an XAMPP based app. This is my first cloud app so I need you to give a tutorial like answer please. Also if you think I can have a work around on Linux I am open to it but bare in mind that I have to install a windows only software on the server to power my web app.

    If you want to move your application to the cloud, you can launch a Windows server in AWS and install XAMPP (for development) or the Bitnami WAMP stack (production) to deploy your application in the cloud.
