This course versus Grafana Cloud
This course predominantly focuses on installing and managing the OSS (Open Source) version of Grafana, but using Grafana cloud may become a strategic option for your company in the future since then you can focus more time on the other details of running your business.
Be aware though that you will still need to gain lots of experience managing internet protocols and firewall rules for your end servers and services, as this course demonstrates, since you will need to connect your Grafana Cloud system instead to your other servers and services that you need to monitor.
Thanks for taking part in my course,
