There will be several implementations sitting behind this interface in the end (see already Vulcan from DO and Frankenstein from Weaveworks, both experimental right now), depending on what you&amp;#x27;d rather run and what fits your use case best.&lt;p&gt;Most importantly, Prometheus will never decide to exclude a feature for commercial reasons. As it&amp;#x27;s a 100% open-source and independent project not controlled by any single company, we don&amp;#x27;t have those kinds of incentives. We just want to build the best monitoring system. Note that we still say &amp;quot;no&amp;quot; to a lot of features, but that&amp;#x27;s only for technical reasons, to avoid bloat, or to keep the project maintainable.</text></comment>

The ZFS part being problematic to run on linux.&lt;p&gt;There is currently no open source monitoring solutions that support more than a single node.&lt;p&gt;If you have serious infrastructure, you gotta move to the paid SaaS monitoring solutions which are ALL awesome.: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.datadoghq.com&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.datadoghq.com&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;signalfx.com&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;signalfx.com&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Note: I am not affiliated with any of these services. I just have a very strong interest in nagios&amp;#x2F;icinga&amp;#x2F;riemann&amp;#x2F;graphite&amp;#x2F;grafana dying since my painful experience of setting up and maintaining them.</text></comment>
