Consider migrating to VictoriaMetrics and saving on storage costs and operations costs. You also won't need MinIO, since it stores data to local filesystem (aka to regular persistent volumes). See real-world reports from happy users who saved costs on a large-scale Prometheus-compatible monitoring - https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/casestudies...
I can't imagine switching at this point. We spent quite a while building up our Cortex and Minio infrastructure management, as well as our alerting and inventory management systems, and it is all very stable right now. We don't really touch it anymore, it just hums along.
We have already worked through all the pain points and it all works smoothly. No reason to change something that isn't a problem.
