## VictoriaMetrics by cloudimg
VictoriaMetrics is a fast, cost effective and scalable open source time series database and monitoring solution, and a drop in replacement for Prometheus remote storage. This Amazon Machine Image delivers the VictoriaMetrics single node build fully installed and configured as a system service, so a production grade metrics database is running within minutes of launch. The release available is VictoriaMetrics 1.145.0.
## Application Stack
The image runs the VictoriaMetrics single node binary under a dedicated unprivileged service account, with the time series database on its own resizable data volume. The binary binds to loopback only and nginx publishes the vmui web interface and the read and write APIs on port 80 behind HTTP Basic authentication.
## Ingestion and Querying
Ingest metrics over the Prometheus remote write protocol, the Influx line protocol, Graphite, OpenTSDB or the import APIs, then query them with MetricsQL or PromQL through the built in vmui interface, the Prometheus compatible HTTP API or your Grafana dashboards.
## Secure First Boot
On first boot a one shot service generates a fresh admin password unique to that instance, writes it into the nginx credentials file and stores it in a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
## cloudimg Support
Every cloudimg image includes 24/7 technical support by email and chat, covering deployment, ingestion configuration, retention tuning, MetricsQL queries and Grafana integration.
