This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for image hardening, maintenance, and support. MariaDB on Amazon Linux 2023, security-hardened for production: minimal package set, SSH key-only access, IMDSv2-only, unix_socket auth (no passwords), remote access closed until you configure it, and continuously patched images.
MariaDB 10.5 (Hardened) on Amazon Linux 2023 is a production-ready, security-hardened image of the MariaDB relational database, maintained and supported by Derek Coleman & Associates Inc.
This is repackaged open-source software. MariaDB is developed by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB community and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v2. This product bundles unmodified upstream MariaDB on a hardened Amazon Linux 2023 base; the charges associated with this listing are for image hardening, continuous patching, vulnerability scanning, and business-day support - not for the underlying open-source software, which remains free.
Hardening baseline: minimal package footprint, SSH key-only access (password authentication disabled), IMDSv2 enforced, and no default database passwords (local root access uses unix_socket authentication; remote access on port 3306 stays closed until you configure users and open the port to trusted CIDRs). Images are rebuilt, scanned for HIGH and CRITICAL vulnerabilities, and republished on a regular cadence so that new launches start current. The data directory initializes on first start; manage the service with systemd and administer locally with: sudo mariadb.
Highlights
Production-ready: systemd-managed MariaDB; data directory initializes on first start; local root via unix_socket.
Security-hardened at build time: minimal packages, key-only SSH, IMDSv2-only, no default database passwords, port 3306 closed until you open it.
Continuously patched: rebuilt, vulnerability-scanned, and republished on a regular cadence.
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
You pay by the hour for the running instance, with no subscription and no minimum. The three dimensions map to three EC2 instance sizes: c7i.xlarge (4 vCPU / 8 GiB), c7i.2xlarge (8 vCPU / 16 GiB), and c7i.4xlarge (16 vCPU / 32 GiB). Larger instance sizes carry a higher hourly software rate, so pricing scales with the compute capacity you choose. Charges cover image hardening, patching, and support, not the open-source database itself. AWS infrastructure charges are billed separately. Charges stop when you terminate the instance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What am I actually paying for, since MariaDB is free open-source software?
The hourly software charge covers image hardening, continuous patching, vulnerability scanning, and business-day support. The underlying database stays free under its open-source license. You pay for the maintained, security-hardened image, not the software itself. AWS infrastructure charges are separate and billed by AWS.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or terminated?
Software charges stop when you terminate the instance. There is no subscription and no minimum, so metering follows running time. A stopped instance may still incur AWS storage fees for its EBS volume, but those are billed by AWS, not as software charges.
What do the different instance sizes give me in compute terms?
Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance size. The c7i.xlarge provides 4 vCPU and 8 GiB memory. The c7i.2xlarge provides 8 vCPU and 16 GiB. The c7i.4xlarge provides 16 vCPU and 32 GiB. You pick the size that matches your database workload.

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.
Version release notes
[Security] Refreshed image: rebuilt on the latest hardened Amazon Linux 2023 baseline; all OS packages current at build.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Launch from AWS Marketplace (1-Click or EC2 console).
Connect via SSH with your EC2 key pair: ssh -i <key> ec2-user@<public-ip>. Root login is disabled; use sudo.
Administer locally: sudo mariadb (local root via unix_socket).
Remote access (port 3306) and authentication are a deliberate customer configuration step; open 3306 to trusted CIDRs only after configuring users.
