MariaDB | Support by cloudimg

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.

Overview MariaDB is the popular open source relational database, a community developed fork of the original MySQL codebase, with full MySQL wire protocol compatibility. It is the default open source SQL database in many enterprise distributions and powers a vast range of applications, from web stacks to data warehouses. This image delivers MariaDB Community Server fully installed and configured, so a working SQL database is running within minutes of launch.

What Is Included MariaDB Community Server, installed from the official MariaDB Foundation package repository, running as a single node. The mariadb command line client is preconfigured for local administration. The database listens on the standard MySQL wire protocol port and is the only workload on the image, so the platform stays lean and predictable.

Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance a one shot service rotates the database root password to a fresh, strong, per instance value, drops anonymous users, removes the test database, disables remote root login and creates a dedicated cloudimg administrative user with its own rotated password. Credentials are written to a root only file. No shared or default database password ships in the image.

Data On Its Own Volume Database tablespaces, binary logs and table data live on a dedicated, independently resizable storage volume mounted at the MariaDB data directory. Database files are kept separate from the operating system disk so storage can be grown, snapshotted and backed up on its own schedule.

Network Ready The database is configured to listen on all interfaces on the standard MySQL wire protocol port, so applications on peer instances inside your virtual network can connect immediately. The AWS security group controls actual network access; customers tighten the inbound rules to their application tier.

Ready To Use The database engine, data directory and command line client are all configured. Connect over SSH, read the generated root password and immediately create databases, users and tables. The user guide explains the full administrative workflow.
