Important Notes
- Available PHP and application-server versions can vary by hosting provider.
- Review application compatibility before changing PHP versions or enabling extensions.
- Back up application data and configuration before redeployment or topology changes.
- Use private networking for communication between PHP, database, and cache nodes whenever possible.
- Replace the placeholder
#links with the final URLs of your BWS documentation pages.
