Get Started with Liquibase on AWS

AWS is an online software store for finding, buying, deploying, and managing software, data, and services that allow you to build solutions for your business. You can purchase Liquibase on AWS Marketplace and run all of your functionality within the AWS console. For more information, see What is AWS Marketplace?

Supported Databases

The Liquibase AWS docker container image includes the Liquibase software, Java, JDBC drivers, and all other dependencies already preconfigured. The image is based on the Eclipse Temurin image eclipse-temurin:17-jre-focal.

There are libraries represented by database driver and client packages that are pre-installed into the container image:

  • DB2
  • Firebird
  • H2
  • MariaDB
  • MS SQL Server
  • ORACLE
  • PostgreSQL
  • Snowflake
  • SQLite
  • Sybase
  • Amazon DynamoDB
  • Amazon DocumentDB (via MongoDB compatibility)

Follow this guide to purchase and launch Liquibase from AWS Marketplace.

  1. Login to the AWS access portal.
  2. Search for Liquibase Pro and select the first available option.
  3. Click the View purchase options button.
  4. Configure your software contract by selecting:
    1. How long the contract will run
    2. If you want Liquibase to automatically renew
    3. How many datastore targets you need

Next Steps

Note: Liquibase is a CLI tool without UI, and is most often deployed in automation within a bigger CI/CD or DevOps toolchain. Even when deployed from developer sandboxes, the interaction is command driven without a UI. Now that you’ve purchased Liquibase on AWS Marketplace you’re ready to begin running commands using the AWS Task Definitions method.
