cfe-mariadb-cookbook

This installs MariaDB by default and initiates databases and users. It can also install a script that performs a backup of all those databases into a designated S3 bucket.

The server is assumed to be using an IAM role with S3 bucket read/write access, instead of a physical credentials file.

Supported Platforms

Ubuntu 14.04
