MySQL Community Server | Support by cloudimg

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

Overview MySQL Community Server is the world's most popular open source relational database, used by enterprises and SaaS platforms alike for transactional applications, content management, analytics back ends and modern web workloads. This image delivers MySQL Community Server fully installed and configured, so a working database is running within minutes of launch. The current widely deployed GA line is provided.

What Is Included MySQL Community Server, installed from the official MySQL APT repository, with the InnoDB storage engine, the standard utilities and the mysql command line client preconfigured. The MySQL daemon is enabled and starts automatically at boot. MySQL is the only workload on the image, so the platform stays lean and predictable.

Authentication Enforced By Default The image ships with password authentication switched on for every user account. No anonymous logins, no remote root login, no test database, and no shared default credentials. The login user model uses the secure caching authentication plugin throughout.

Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance a one shot service initialises a fresh data directory, generates a strong random root password and a separate cloudimg admin user password unique to that instance, creates the cloudimg database and writes the credentials to a file that only the root user can read. No shared or default database credentials ship in the image.

Data On Its Own Volume MySQL data, transaction logs and binary logs live on a dedicated, independently resizable storage volume mounted at the MySQL 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.

Ready To Use The MySQL daemon, the data directory and the mysql command line client are all configured. Connect over SSH, read the generated root password and open a mysql session to create schemas, users and tables. The server listens on the standard MySQL wire protocol port so application tiers can connect once a security group rule is opened from the application subnet.
