I may have misinterpreted what they meant by local storage! I was reading that as having a local copy of the TSDB available to Prometheus, (eg: how Thanos works) versus Cortex which doesn't store metrics locally (IIRC).

What you said is correct and makes sense. Though, I would suspect either choice works with any S3 compatible API that can run on local storage, but I know that isn't necessarily what's meant by "local storage".

"local storage" = I don't want to install yet another gizmo just to store data, nor do I want to use an external service for that

Batteries included.
