The last ring is the outside world, that is, the Internet. Generally speaking, we don't want to expose our MariaDB database server directly to the Internet ever. It's not that MariaDB is especially vulnerable, any more than any other piece of software, it's just that it's almost never necessary to expose it to the Internet and part of good security is to not expose something unless we have to (in the same way that a poker player doesn't want to reveal his hand to the other players, or the rest of the world). When MariaDB is running on a web server, the web server software can directly connect with no need for a network connection. If our MariaDB server is separate from our web server, then we can almost always connect the two of them together over our internal network and if not, we can set up some sort of secure tunnel between the two.
