Metabase

Metabase 0.57.4.4 on Ubuntu 24.04 with Free Maintenance Support by kCloudHubs.

This Azure Marketplace image provides a self-hosted Metabase analytics platform for teams that require complete control over their business intelligence environment on Microsoft Azure. It is packaged and validated by kCloudHubs to deliver a stable, production-ready analytics runtime.

The image is designed for organizations that prefer running BI workloads inside their own Azure subscriptions rather than relying on hosted analytics services, ensuring full control over data, configuration, scaling, and security.

What This Offering Is

• Pre-configured Metabase 0.58.1 analytics server
• Runs on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with a hardened baseline
• Supports Java (JDK) version 21
• Fully self-managed within your Azure subscription
• Suitable for production workloads and embedded analytics
• Compatible with CI/CD, IaC, and automated provisioning pipelines

This is not a hosted BI service. You retain complete control over configuration, scaling, upgrades, security posture, and data access.

Common Deployment Scenarios

• Internal dashboards and stakeholder reporting
• Self-service analytics for engineering, operations, and product teams
• Embedded analytics in SaaS or customer-facing portals
• Data exploration across transactional and warehouse systems
• Lightweight BI for teams that do not require full data platforms

This image is frequently used by data engineers, platform engineers, DevOps teams, and analytics groups operating under compliance or data-residency requirements.

Security, Operations, and Observability
