Cloudstack 4.22 - ALL-IN-ONE script running on Ubuntu 25..x and using MariaDB

[soulfulgent]

i could not find any discussions for this. If found, please move to that thread

I would like to suuggest the script get rid of mysql and go with Mariadb and use the "mariadb-secure-installation" script for for locking down. Mariadb was born in 2009 as a fork of mysql. I'm not a developer, but have some scripting knowledge I've picked up in the last couple of decades working in IT. One thing I'm aware of is that MariaDB is a lot faster than mysql, uses less resources...etc.

Secondly, will the script work with Ubuntu 25.10.x. UltimetEly, I would like to see the cloudstack script install on Ubuntu 25.x using MariaDB with "mariadb-secure-installation" script

Reasons why to use MariaDB; see links below;
