Hi@akhtar,

To create a MariaDB DB instance with Easy Create enabled, You can follow the below-given steps.

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/.

2. In the upper-right corner of the Amazon RDS console, choose the AWS Region in which you want to create the DB instance.

3. In the navigation pane, choose Databases.

4. Choose Create database and make sure that Easy Create is chosen.

5. In Configuration, choose MariaDB.

6. For DB instance size, choose Free tier.

7. For DB instance identifier, enter a name for the DB instance, or leave the default name.

8. For Master username, enter a name for the master user, or leave the default name. The Create database page should look similar to the following image.

9. To use an automatically generated master password for the DB instance, make sure that the Auto-generate a password checkbox is chosen.

   To enter your master password, clear the Auto-generate a password checkbox, and then enter the same password in Master password and Confirm password.

10. Choose Create database. If you chose to use an automatically generated password, the View credential details button appears on the Databases page.

11. For Databases, choose the name of the new Maria DB instance.
