Grafana Labs is evolving its approach to data source management by refining its "big tent" philosophy, which emphasizes interoperability and vendor neutrality while catering to specific technological environments. Recently, Grafana has deprecated AWS and Microsoft Azure authentication from its original Prometheus data source and introduced dedicated plugins for Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus and Azure Monitor Managed Service for Prometheus. This ensures that users have access to platform-specific features and authentication methods without overcomplicating the core Prometheus functionality, which remains aligned with its open-source roots under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. With over 100 plugins available, Grafana Labs continues to expand its catalog to support a wide range of licensing models and platform-specific needs, encouraging community and partner engagement to further enhance its offerings. The company remains committed to its core principles of allowing organizations to own their observability strategies and consolidating data from various sources, aiming to be the leading visualization tool for centralized observability.
