Percona Server for MySQL on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

## Percona Server for MySQL on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Percona Server for MySQL is a free, fully compatible, enhanced open-source drop-in replacement for MySQL, delivering better performance, greater scalability, and richer instrumentation (extended InnoDB, improved diagnostics, and more) for demanding production workloads. This image is built and maintained by cloudimg on a hardened, fully patched Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.

### What's included

• Percona Server for MySQL 8.0 from the official Percona repository, managed by systemd
• Bound to loopback (port 3306, plus X Protocol on 33060) for security
• A unique root password generated on first boot (no shared default credential); the database re-initializes cleanly per VM
• A seeded demo database, and the data directory on a dedicated managed data disk
• Automatic security updates enabled

### Getting started

Retrieve the generated root password with `sudo cat /root/percona-credentials.txt`, then connect: `mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p`. Existing MySQL clients, tools, and applications work unchanged. The deployment guide on cloudimg.co.uk covers configuration, remote access, and Percona-specific features.
