This product has charges associated with it for image hardening, maintenance, and support. MySQL 8.4 Community Server (LTS) on Amazon Linux 2023, security-hardened for production: minimal package set, SSH key-only access, IMDSv2-only, socket-auth root (no passwords), remote access closed until you configure it, and continuously patched images.
Overview
MySQL 8.4 Community (Hardened) on Amazon Linux 2023 is a production-ready, security-hardened image of the MySQL Community Server relational database (8.4 LTS series), maintained and supported by Derek Coleman & Associates Inc.
This is repackaged open-source software. MySQL Community Server is developed by Oracle Corporation and the MySQL community and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v2. MySQL is a trademark of Oracle Corporation; this listing is not endorsed by or affiliated with Oracle. This product bundles unmodified upstream MySQL Community Server on a hardened Amazon Linux 2023 base; the charges associated with this listing are for image hardening, continuous patching, vulnerability scanning, and business-day support - not for the underlying open-source software, which remains free.
Hardening baseline: minimal package footprint, SSH key-only access (password authentication disabled), IMDSv2 enforced, and no default database passwords (the data directory initializes on first boot and root access uses auth_socket - sudo mysql; remote access on port 3306 stays closed until you create users and open the port to trusted CIDRs). MySQL X protocol is disabled by default. Images are rebuilt, scanned for HIGH and CRITICAL vulnerabilities, and republished on a regular cadence so that new launches start current. Manage the service with systemd and administer locally with: sudo mysql.
Highlights
- Security-hardened at build time: minimal packages, key-only SSH, IMDSv2-only, no default database passwords, port 3306 closed until you open it.
- Continuously patched: rebuilt, vulnerability-scanned, and republished on a regular cadence.
- Production-ready: systemd-managed MySQL 8.4 LTS; data directory initializes on first boot; local root via auth_socket.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a hardened MySQL 8.4 Community image running on Amazon Linux 2023. The three dimensions are all EC2 compute sizes: c7i.xlarge, c7i.2xlarge, and c7i.4xlarge. They differ only in instance size, so you choose the one that matches your workload. Larger instances carry more vCPU and memory and bill at a higher hourly rate. Fees accrue only while an instance runs, metered by AWS. Cloud infrastructure like compute, storage, and network is billed separately by AWS under your own account.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to an EC2 instance running the hardened MySQL image. The c7i.xlarge, c7i.2xlarge, and c7i.4xlarge sizes step up in vCPU and memory. You pick the size that fits your database workload, and the hourly rate rises with the larger sizes.
Software fees accrue only while an instance runs, metered by AWS. A stopped instance stops accruing software charges. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, billed separately under your own account. The licence meters running time only.
The fee covers the hardened MySQL software licence only. AWS bills you separately for cloud infrastructure the instance uses, including compute, storage, and network. The software runs entirely in your own AWS account under your IAM, VPC, and billing controls. Taxes are handled by AWS.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
