Quick question : my company uses a "devops as a service" partner. Basically we pay a monthly fee to have their guys on call 24/7 in case something starts to go wrong. Additionally they update and manage our kubernetes cluster, installing and setuping any dependency we require. From our point of view, we have a fully managed kubernetes cluster.

Financially, we pay AWS for EC2 instances and other expenses + them on top of that for consulting service, they have root access to the cluster. We do not have any devops/infra guy in the office.

Would they be allowed to install (and manage) CockroachDB on our cluster if we need to ?

I'm not a lawyer or in any way speaking for Cockroach Labs, but the Additional License Grant in their license looks to allow "contractors" to do that kind of thing. It's you or your lawyer's call as to whether you're safe in your scenario, but it seems to me that the answer is yes.
