The best features of MariaDB on CentOS, in my experience, are that it is mainly enterprise-friendly. We can also manage MariaDB on CentOS through systemd and systemctl, which runs on CentOS. It also has SELinux support, and the package management is easy and reliable through those package managers, YUM and DNF. MariaDB on CentOS is reliable and very good for production. The reliability and ease of management of MariaDB on CentOS helped me day-to-day, for example, because the company I worked for used to host all the customers' databases under the cluster. It was not a single database for them; the customers could access their individual databases, but for us, it was very good to go into the big box and then enter the MariaDB on CentOS engine, where we could run queries on multiple databases. That made it easy to avoid going into single databases to do it, so multiple queries to update multiple databases for a single table were things that made it easy. MariaDB on CentOS impacted my organization positively, helping in database redundancy. It helped to have MySQL dumps, so if a customer removes their database entries, we could easily pull the dumps to provide the backups to the customer. That's how it was done, and it made things easy. Regarding MariaDB on CentOS and reduced manual effort, there were scripts automating the backups. The MySQL dump feature in MariaDB on CentOS helps to take the dumps. Also, since it runs on systemd, when a big server reboots, the engine starts up, causing less downtime.
