Modify the MySQL / MariaDB configuration on Cloud Server

Atualização 21/05/2026

This guide explains how to view and modify the configuration settings for MySQL / MariaDB on a Managed Cloud Server. These settings allow you to adjust the behavior, performance, and certain features of the service, including resource limits.

 

Introduction

  • MySQL is installed on a Dedicated Managed Cloud Server: resources are not shared with other customers.
  • Only one instance of MySQL or MariaDB is present per Cloud Server.
  • The number and size of databases depend solely on the available disk space and resources.
  • For very large volumes of non-relational data, MongoDB is recommended.
