YugabyteDB on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

## YugabyteDB on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

YugabyteDB is an open-source, high-performance distributed SQL database designed for resilience and horizontal scalability. It is PostgreSQL-compatible through its YSQL API and Cassandra-compatible through YCQL, so applications and tools connect with familiar drivers. This cloudimg image runs YugabyteDB in single-node mode (yugabyted) with the web UI fronted by nginx on port 80, stores all data on a dedicated Azure data disk, and generates a unique YSQL password on the first boot of every VM. Backed by 24/7 expert support.

Distributed SQL

PostgreSQL-compatible YSQL (port 5433) and Cassandra-compatible YCQL (port 9042), with the resilience and horizontal scalability of a distributed database. Connect with standard PostgreSQL or Cassandra drivers and tools.

Dedicated Data Disk

All database data lives on a dedicated, independently resizable Azure data disk mounted at /var/lib/yugabyte, separate from the OS disk and re-provisioned with every VM.

Secure First Boot

YugabyteDB ships a default passwordless superuser, so a unique per-VM YSQL password is generated on the first boot of every VM and written to a root-only file; the YSQL port binds to loopback by default and the web UI is fronted by nginx with HTTP Basic auth.
