What is Managed Databases for Grafana?
Managed Databases for Grafana is one of the managed services available on our Public Cloud. Its purpose is to save you time, since we take care of your solution’s management and administration.
Can I install Grafana on Public Cloud instances myself?
Once you have downloaded and accepted the Grafana licence agreement, it is indeed possible. However, you will also need to manage and administer the solution, and you will not benefit from the capabilities we provide in our turn-key service.
Can this solution be integrated into a Public Cloud project?
Yes, our service can be used as a resource, or as part of a Public Cloud infrastructure. You can manage it from the OVHcloud Control Panel or the OVHcloud API. We also offer managed services for managing relational databases (SQL), such as MySQL and PostgreSQL, and non-relational databases (NoSQL), such as Redis and MongoDB.
