API

The IONOS CLOUD Database as a Service (DBaaS) MariaDB API lets you provision and manage fully managed MariaDB clusters, including backups, scaling, and Kubernetes connectivity.

MariaDB API versions

DBaaS MariaDB offers two versions of the MariaDB API. Version 2 (2.0.0) is the recommended version for production workloads, while Version 1 (1.0.0) is the legacy implementation.

MariaDB v1 and MariaDB v2 refer to IONOS CLOUD's DBaaS API versions, not MariaDB software versions.

Note: The MariaDB v2 API is now in General Availability (GA). Any IONOS CLOUD contract can provision MariaDB v2 clusters without prior activation. For more information, see DBaaS MariaDB v2 Cloud API.

Important: The MariaDB v1 API will be deprecated in an upcoming release. All existing clusters operating on the v1 version will be automatically migrated to the v2 version as part of this process. No user action is required. For more information, see MariaDB API Versions.

What can you do with the MariaDB APIs?

The MariaDB API lets you provision and manage MariaDB clusters programmatically using standard HTTPS requests.

You can also use the MariaDB API to:

• Provision and configure clusters with your chosen size and MariaDB version.
• Retrieve and list clusters in your account.
• Modify cluster configuration, such as scaling resources or updating settings.
• Delete clusters you no longer need.
• Retrieve backups for a cluster.
• Restore a cluster from a backup.
• Create a new cluster based on a backup.
• Connect MariaDB clusters to your managed Kubernetes clusters.
