Who This AMI Is For
This AMI is designed for teams running MySQL, MariaDB, or Amazon Aurora on AWS who need quick, secure database visibility without manual phpMyAdmin installation and configuration. Whether you are a solo developer inspecting an RDS instance, a DevOps team needing rapid troubleshooting access, or a DBA consolidating multi-server management, this AMI provides a ready-to-use solution.
Example Use Case
A development team running an Aurora cluster needs to inspect production data, modify table schemas, and export datasets for local testing - all without configuring SSH tunnels or installing local database clients. After launching this AMI, they access phpMyAdmin through their browser, connect to their Aurora endpoint, and begin working within minutes.
AWS Integration
This AMI connects to Amazon RDS for MySQL, Amazon RDS for MariaDB, and Amazon Aurora MySQL-compatible databases. Launch the instance in the same VPC as your database endpoints for optimal connectivity and security.
Getting Started
After subscribing and launching the AMI, access the phpMyAdmin web interface through your browser. Configure your database connection details to point to your RDS or Aurora endpoint and begin managing your databases immediately.

See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you run this software on. Pricing is usage-based, so charges accrue only while your instance is running. The many options are not feature tiers. Each one maps to a specific EC2 instance size across compute, memory, storage, and accelerated families (such as c, m, r, i, g, p, x, and z series). Larger instances carry more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware, so their hourly rate rises accordingly. Pick the instance that fits your workload; the software runs the same on each. No local database is included.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I get for the hourly rate on a given instance type?
You get the phpMyAdmin software running on that EC2 instance size. The rate covers the software license for each running hour. The instance provides the CPU, memory, and storage tied to its family and size. The tool itself works the same regardless of which instance you choose.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped?
The hourly software charge accrues only while the instance runs. A stopped instance does not accrue software charges. You may still pay underlying AWS storage fees for the stopped instance. Charges resume when you start the instance again.
Does the price include a database to connect to?
No. The software does not install a local database. You connect it to an existing MySQL, MariaDB, or RDS server using its host, username, and password. Any database or RDS costs are separate and not part of this hourly rate.
