Installing latest version of MariaDB on Amazon Linux 2 and Amazon Linux 2023

Question

I am trying to install **latest version of MariaDB**, on **Amazon Linux 2 and Amazon Linux 2023** and I intend to use **yum repo** for this but I can't find any `baseurl` for Amazon Linux . Meanwhile MariaDB ships with version `10.5` on both of these linux through their OS Repositories . 
Has anyone encountered this problem ?

I am seeing that you have commented out `# baseurl = https://rpm.mariadb.org/10.11/rhel/$releasever/$basearch` instead you are using `baseurl = https://mirrors.xtom.jp/mariadb/yum/10.11/rhel/9/$basearch` . Is this source `mirrors.xtom.jp` reliable ? 
By the way thanks a ton you saved my day. But, I am unsure if i should install through mirrors, I am concerned about security issues still.

For Amazon Linux2, follow the steps below to add a repository.  
https://mariadb.org/download/?t=repo-config&d=CentOS+7&v=10.11&r_m=xtom_jp  
```
sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel -y
sudo yum update -y
sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo

# MariaDB 10.11 CentOS repository list - created 2023-06-07 08:48 UTC
# https://mariadb.org/download/
[mariadb]
name = MariaDB
# rpm.mariadb.org is a dynamic mirror if your preferred mirror goes offline. See https://mariadb.org/mirrorbits/ for details.
# baseurl = https://rpm.mariadb.org/10.11/centos/$releasever/$basearch
baseurl = https://mirrors.xtom.jp/mariadb/yum/10.11/centos/$releasever/$basearch
module_hotfixes = 1
# gpgkey = https://rpm.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgkey = https://mirrors.xtom.jp/mariadb/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgcheck = 1

sudo yum install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client -y
```

I don't know how to do this for Amazon Linux 2023 and will add it when I figure it out.

For ARM:

```
cat << EOF | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo
# MariaDB 11.4 RedHatEnterpriseLinux repository list - created 2024-08-13 06:05 UTC
# https://mariadb.org/download/

# rpm.mariadb.org is a dynamic mirror if your preferred mirror goes offline. See https://mariadb.org/mirrorbits/ for details.
# baseurl = https://rpm.mariadb.org/11.4/rhel/$releasever/$basearch
baseurl = https://mirrors.gigenet.com/mariadb/yum/11.4/rhel/9/aarch64
# gpgkey = https://rpm.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgkey = https://mirrors.gigenet.com/mariadb/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgcheck = 1

sudo dnf install -y MariaDB-server MariaDB-client MariaDB-devel
```
