Secured MariaDB

MariaDB is an open-source MySQL database compatible database and the Kurian AMI has the latest stable release of MariaDB installed for the targeted Linux platform. The installation is secured by running mysql_secure_installation.

Features

• Latest, stable release with OS patches.
• Secured installation.

How It Works

The MariaDB database server is ready for use when an EC2 instance is spun from this AMI. An ideal resource to use with automated infrastructure provisioning when a MariaDB or MySQL database is needed as part of the cluster and available for use immediately.
