Grafana + Prometheus on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

A complete observability stack in one VM: Grafana 11 pre-wired to a local Prometheus with node metrics already flowing. On first boot a unique admin password is generated for your VM — there is no shared default credential anywhere in the image.

Get it on Azure Marketplace Deploy on Azure Support & quick start

Version: Grafana 11 + Prometheus 2.xPlatform: Ubuntu 24.04 LTSPorts: 3000 (Grafana), 9090 (Prometheus)Category: Monitoring & Analytics

Pay-as-you-go pricing: $0.09 per vCPU per hour software fee, plus Azure infrastructure (billed by Microsoft). Example: a 4-vCPU VM runs about $263/month in software fees at 730 hours — stop the VM, stop paying.
