What seems to be missing in the market is the ability to only pay for the setup and maintenance operations, but use my own existing cloud account and resources instead of running multi-tenant or in some other company's cloud account.

Basically as if I hired a contractor to install, monitor and upgrade, but automated. Existing services charge too much since they resell VMs and storage, while also being less flexible with access and performance.

There's also the rise of Kubernetes (with operators, helm charts and persistent storage) that takes away much of the complexity. By version 2.0, it should be able to easily make any legacy single-node system into a fault-tolerant service.

Exactly!

Ideally, I would just need an SSH key inside your machines and the capabilities to open an ssh tunnel inside the firewall to scrape metrics.

Ideally, the metric should get exposed back to the customer.

I am not a big fan of containers when working with data that are irreplaceable. But the use k8s may really help.

We would be interested, along with other datastores like ElasticSearch, Redis, etc.

AWS, Azure and Google all have various resource organization systems now so that the environment can be isolated but still within our overall account. We run on Google and it would be nice to have a separate project for managed databases while taking advantage of our existing billing arrangements and private network.
