Would it be possible to have a split offering, with both on prem and cloud? In my mind I would prefer to have things like Prometheus, Logs, and Metrics stored on prem mainly due to the volume of logs and metrics we create. Then use Grafana cloud for Grafana Dashboards, Loki logs, and incident management that pull directly from my on prem data stores. I bring this up as it may be cost prohibitive for us to store our metrics in the cloud ( we make so many metrics and logs! ) but I would love to off load hosting the front end. Grafana cloud takes care of managing and maintaining Grafana Dashboard and backend database, Authentication, updates, ect. I'm fine hosting Prometheus and Loki locally, have been for a long time! I just get annoyed having to host Grafana and setting it up, the database up, configuring auth, etc.
