# MariaDB SkySQL for Transactions now Generally Available on AWS

As part of this release, SkySQL customers can easily deploy production grade transactional database services, including single node and multi-node for high availability.

*Deploy a transactional service in SkySQL on GCP or AWS.*

Customers login to the SkySQL portal and pick their public cloud provider, GCP or AWS, all from a single interface. 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, users have access to advanced configuration changes through the [Configuration Manager](https://staging-mdb.com/products/skysql/docs/instructions/configuration-manager/#configuration-manager) to further customize the behavior of the database service.

### SkySQL Monitoring Now Supports Multi-Cloud

SkySQL Monitoring lets you monitor your database deployments in GCP and AWS, giving customers a true multi-cloud view in a single monitoring interface.
