Even though this tutorial is for VPS based setups, the Cloud install is basically the same.

This is assuming that you already have Ubuntu 16.04 installed on your Cloud service.

If not, do that 1st, then proceed as shown in the link below. (I highly recommend installing Ubuntu 16.04 using your service deployment method.)

Install MyBB on Ubuntu 16.04

At Step #4, you'll have to download the latest version of MyBB which at this time of posting is 1.8.15 so the zip file should be mybb_1815.zip

Side note: I am using the InnoDB plugin, but MariaDB, as is, will work fine. 
I don't know what "flavor" your existing database is, so you"ll have to figure that one out.
