Answer

Hi
Which AMI are you using? On Amazon Linux 2023, you need to try "yum install -y mariadb105-server".

On RPM based system, you can list the packages available using "yum list | grep -i maria" to find available versions if the above command does not work

Answer

Could you please advise which AMI you are using, the latest Amazon Linux 2023 AMI or Amazon Linux 2 AMI (HVM) - Kernel 5.10, SSD Volume Type, and also check the version of PHP.  Every question has its own merit - I actually do not know your situation.

If you use Amazon Linux 2 AMI, please apply the following commands:

$sudo yum update -y

$sudo amazon-linux-extra | grep mariadb

$sudo amazon-linux-extra install -y mariadb10.5  ((note, choose your own version)

For Amazon Linux 2023 AMI follow the link:
