Where are you hosting the database?

Question

MySQL

Good day to all. Now I have several virtual machines. Each has MariaDB running. Now I started to think about moving the database server to a separate machine. But then you have to allow remote access to the database, which seems unsafe. Leave it as it is or take it out on a separate wheelbarrow? And maybe someone will advise what about Cloud Database. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Take it to a separate server, allow access only from a specific IP, and there will be no problems.
