# MariaDB SkySQL on AWS, now in tech preview

We’re happy to announce the tech preview of [MariaDB SkySQL](https://staging-mdb.com/products/skysql/) on AWS. With SkySQL, AWS customers have access to a robust, scalable MariaDB database service with support from the source, the company building the database.

As part of this release, SkySQL customers can deploy transactional database services, including single node, multi-node for high availability and distributed SQL for scalability with a click of a button.

Customers can login to the SkySQL portal and pick their public cloud of choice between GCP and AWS, all from a single portal interface. In this release, SkySQL on AWS supports three AWS cloud regions: us-east-2, eu-central-1 and ap-southeast-1, essentially covering the entire planet for our AWS customers. As with GCP, advanced configuration changes can be done using the [Configuration Manager](https://staging-mdb.com/products/skysql/docs/instructions/configuration-manager/#configuration-manager) to further customize the behavior of the database service all within the user friendly portal environment.

### SkySQL Monitoring: Single pane of glass

SkySQL Monitoring has been extended to support AWS as well in this release.Now customers can not only deploy SkySQL services in two different popular public clouds, but they can also monitor all database services from a single monitoring interface.
