This product has charges associated with it for hardening and preconfiguration. Hardened MySQL Community Edition on Linux provides a production-ready MySQL database environment on Amazon EC2. The AMI is preinstalled, securely configured, and optimized for rapid deployment, reducing the time and effort required to install and configure MySQL manually.
Overview
Deploy MySQL Community Edition on Amazon EC2 using a hardened, preconfigured AMI designed for rapid deployment of relational database workloads.
This AMI eliminates the time and complexity involved in manually installing and performing the initial configuration of MySQL. It provides a secure baseline configuration while retaining compatibility with standard MySQL administration tools, clients, connectors, applications, and documentation.
The software charges associated with this product are for the hardening, integration, preconfiguration, maintenance, and packaging of the AMI. MySQL Community Edition itself is open-source software.

Kurian provides multiple versions of this product on popular Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, Amazon Linux, Fedora Linux, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, where supported.
For currently available combinations of MySQL Community Edition versions, Linux distributions, operating system versions, and architectures, refer to the AMI Version information under the Usage Information section of this AWS Marketplace listing.
If a required combination of MySQL version, Linux distribution, or operating system version is not currently listed in AWS Marketplace, custom AMIs may be available. Please contact Kurian for availability.
About the Hardening
The AMI is prepared with security-conscious operating system and application configuration to provide a hardened baseline for deployment. Customers remain responsible for configuring network access, security groups, IAM policies, database users and privileges, encryption, backups, application security, and other controls appropriate for their environment and security requirements.
About Kurian AMIs
Kurian provides preconfigured and hardened AMIs for widely used software platforms and DevOps technologies, including databases, CMS platforms, Jenkins, LAMP stacks, Ansible, monitoring applications, and other tools used by developers, system administrators, and DevOps engineers.
Kurian AMIs use standard software installation and configuration procedures wherever possible. Administrators can therefore continue to use standard product documentation, commands, configuration files, and administration practices when managing or extending their deployments.
Usage instructions
- After launching the EC2 instance, MySQL is installed, secured using mysql_secure_installation, and ready for use.
- Connect to the instance using SSH and log in to MySQL as the root user.
- The initial MySQL root password is the EC2 instance ID. Change the password after the first login.
- Define non-root users for use in production.
- Configure database users, privileges, network access, and backups as required for your environment.
Highlights
- Hardened and preconfigured. MySQL Community Edition is preinstalled and configured with a hardened baseline, reducing the effort required to prepare a MySQL server for deployment on Amazon EC2.
- Deploy MySQL in minutes. Launch an EC2 instance and quickly begin deploying databases and applications without manually installing and performing the initial configuration of MySQL.
- Standard MySQL environment. Uses standard MySQL software, configuration, administration tools, clients, and connectors without requiring a proprietary management layer.

Dimensions summary
This listing carries no software charge. You pay nothing to the vendor for the software itself. Pricing is organized around EC2 instance types, each billed per hour of runtime. You choose the instance size that fits your workload, from small burstable types to large memory-, compute-, storage-, and accelerator-focused options. The hourly rate reflects the AWS infrastructure you run, not a software fee. Larger or specialized instances cost more per hour because they provide more compute, memory, or storage. You select one instance type when launching the preconfigured MySQL machine image on Amazon EC2.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One hour maps to one running EC2 instance of the type you select. Billing meters the wall-clock time that instance stays running. Each instance type carries its own hourly rate based on its compute, memory, storage, or accelerator resources. The MySQL software itself carries no charge.
The hourly rate meters running time only. A stopped instance does not accrue the hourly runtime charge. Underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volume may still apply while the instance is stopped. You pay the hourly rate again once you restart the instance.
You launch a new instance from the same machine image on the size you need, then migrate your databases using the related MySQL documentation. The hourly rate changes to match the new instance type. Larger or specialized types cost more per hour for added compute, memory, or storage.

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.
