See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for MariaDB Server running on Ubuntu 24.04, with vendor support included. The many line items are not feature tiers. Each one maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, from small general-purpose sizes to large memory-, compute-, and storage-optimized machines. You pick the instance that fits your workload, and the hourly rate scales with the size and class of that instance. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware cost more per hour. You run the software as long as needed and stop billing when you shut down.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit map to, and how is a running instance counted?
Each hourly rate maps to one AWS EC2 instance type running the software. You are billed per hour for each running instance. One instance of a given type counts as one billing unit. The rate reflects that instance's CPU, memory, and storage class.
Am I charged when I stop or shut down the instance?
Software charges meter running time only. When you shut down the instance, hourly billing stops. Stopped instances do not accrue software fees, though underlying AWS storage costs for the volume may still apply separately from this listing.
What software and support come with every instance type, regardless of size?
Every instance runs MariaDB Server preinstalled on Ubuntu 24.04, with vendor support included. MariaDB is a relational database engine that supports multiple storage engines, connection pooling, and replication. The included software and support are the same across all instance types; only the compute size and hourly rate differ.

MariaDB on Ubuntu is the best combination to run production grade Database clusters
Reviewed on Mar 10, 2023
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
MariaDB Galera cluster, an in-built high availability feature is very useful for a production-grade system. Easy setup and configuration make it a go-to system for relational DB. Having multiple DB engines (InnoDB, Aria, RocksDB) is very helpful in a single cluster and is able to tune according to the business requirements (read heavy vs write heavy).
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features available in MySQL 8 are yet to be available in MariaDB which is making some of the migration pipeline getting delayed. No full-fledged native incremental backup support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to set up a Highly Available database cluster on the cloud. Having multiple DB engines in a single cluster helps in reducing the cost of deploying multiple clusters.
