InfluxDB

InfluxDB is an open-source time-series database purpose-built for real-time metrics, monitoring, IoT, and other high-ingest timestamped data, with a built-in web UI and HTTP API. It helps developers and DevOps teams store, query, and visualize massive streams of time-stamped data without bolting together separate tools. This offer delivers a pre-configured, security-hardened InfluxDB 2.9.1 on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, ready to self-host on Azure in minutes.
