Last year, WordPress development updated recommended environment for WordPress to PHP7 or more. Matt Mullenweg also posted on his blog that he hopes WordPress hosting companies should default PHP7 on their server environment.
I also think the performance improvements in PHP7 are particularly impressive, and major kudos to everyone who worked on that. We will consider whether hosts use PHP7 by default for new accounts next year as well.
Today, we announce that we have updated our AMIs and default PHP7 except for PVM and RedHat Enterprise Linux.
Launching new instance, you can run WordPress on PHP7 environment.
