Overview Percona Server for MySQL is an enhanced, open source, drop-in replacement for MySQL that adds performance, scalability and observability features while remaining wire-protocol-compatible with stock MySQL clients and tooling. This image delivers Percona Server fully installed and configured, so a production-ready MySQL-compatible database is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is the Percona Server 8.x series.
Database Stack Percona Server for MySQL running as a systemd service in single-node mode, listening on the standard MySQL port. The package ships the XtraDB storage engine (a fully compatible InnoDB successor with extra instrumentation), the enhanced Percona thread pool and additional performance schema views. A small nginx listing-identity shim runs on port 80 so the listing surfaces a screenshotable page in the AWS Marketplace catalogue; the MySQL wire protocol on port 3306 is the real product.
Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance, a one-shot service generates fresh, instance-unique passwords for the MySQL root account and for a dedicated 'cloudimg' application user, applies them to the running server, and stores the plain text values in a root-only credentials file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
Ready To Use The MySQL server, configuration, data directory and accounts are all prepared. Connect with the standard mysql client on port 3306, or with any MySQL-compatible driver from your application. Database files are kept on a dedicated, independently resizable EBS data volume.

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.

Additional details
Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant). Percona Server for MySQL listens on the standard MySQL port 3306; an nginx listing-identity shim serves a static page on port 80. Retrieve the generated root password with: sudo cat /root/percona-credentials.txt. Connect from the instance: mysql -u root -p (paste the password from the credentials file). Restrict port 3306 to trusted networks. To enable HTTPS or TLS-secured MySQL, follow the user guide sections on configuring a reverse proxy and on the Percona Server require_secure_transport setting.
