I'm looking for a configuration management database (CMDB) and a unified inventory system for my on-premises virtual machines (VMs) and Kubernetes (K8s) pods. Is it possible to deploy CloudQuery on-premises to achieve this objective?

Absolutely, you can run CloudQuery in a self-hosted manner without any issues! It's essentially a data puller that feeds into PostgreSQL, so it will work as long as your infrastructure is reachable. You'll need to set up your own collectors for the on-prem VMs and Kubernetes, but that’s pretty standard. I also suggest looking into integrating it with Grafana or Metabase to make the data more insightful. Just keep in mind that it’s more of a tool than a complete CMDB solution right out of the box.
Hey there! I'm on the CloudQuery team! 🙌 Yes, you can definitely deploy CloudQuery on-premises! We have helpful documentation for deploying it to Kubernetes, and many other guides [here](https://cli-docs.cloudquery.io/docs/deployment/overview). By the way, what VM platforms are you planning to use it on?
That's great to hear! My VMs are hosted on OpenStack and I also have some on a bare metal server using Virsh.
