MySQL 8 database server on hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS for Azure
MySQL Server on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
A production-ready MySQL 8 database server on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, built and hardened for the Azure Marketplace. MySQL is installed from the Ubuntu repositories, enabled as a systemd service, and configured to start automatically on first boot.
Who this is for: Developers, DBAs, and platform teams who need a patch-current MySQL VM on Azure without hand-installing and hardening the engine themselves.
Target industries: SaaS and web application backends, e-commerce, content management, analytics, and any workload that runs on a relational MySQL database.
Value proposition: Standing up a secure, patch-current MySQL server on Azure means installing the engine, locking it down, and keeping it updated. This image does that for you:
- MySQL 8 — the current GA series, installed and running as a managed systemd service with remote connectivity enabled for application tiers
- Monthly patched & hardened — rebuilt each month from the upstream base with the latest OS security updates; hardened to Microsoft's Azure Marketplace certification standards before any version is published
- Ready to run — the service is installed, enabled, and configured to start on boot, so the VM is productive minutes after deployment instead of after a manual install
- Audit trail per release — build and certification evidence retained for every published image version, available for compliance audits and change-management documentation
Plans available:
- MySQL 8 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS — Gen2 — Trusted Launch-capable Gen2 VM image; free image (standard Azure compute and storage rates apply)
Supported software and integrations: Azure Monitor, Azure Backup, Azure Virtual Network, Azure Private Link, and any MySQL-compatible client, ORM, or BI tool.
Recommended deployment: Standard_D2ads_v6 or larger; Premium SSD for the data volume. Place the VM in a private subnet and reach it over Azure Private Link or a VNet peering for production.
