# MariaDB SkySQL for Transactions now Generally Available on AWS

 We’re happy to announce the General Availability of [MariaDB SkySQL](/products/skysql/) for Transactions 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 service in SkySQL on GCP or AWS](/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/skysql-aws-img1.jpg)

*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](/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. ![Single pane to monitor MariaDB SkySQL cloud database deployments in multiple clouds](/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/skysql-aws-img2-1024x468.jpg)
