Best Practices for Setting Up WordPress in a Virtualized Environment?

Hello, everyone!

I'm in the process of setting up a WordPress site and considering running it in a virtual environment to ensure scalability and security. I'm looking for some guidance on best practices to achieve this.

What virtualization technologies (like Docker, Vagrant, etc.) do you recommend for a WordPress setup?
How do I handle data persistence, especially for databases and uploads, in a virtual environment?
Are there any performance considerations I should be aware of when running WordPress virtually?
Can you share any tools or plugins that are particularly helpful for managing WordPress in a virtual setting?
I'm also curious about your experiences with backup and recovery strategies for virtual WordPress sites.
I would greatly appreciate any insights or resources you could share from your experiences. Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards

    What kind of host will you use to set up your virtual machine? I know about VMware workstation. After a host is setup and you create a virtual machine Wordpress does not know whether the virtual machine is a physical machine or a VM. So the performance will always be based on the poser of the host.
