Metrics Monitoring - Kube-Prometheus Stack

• The Kube-Prometheus stack is a collection of Kubernetes manifests, Grafana dashboards, and Prometheus rules combined with documentation and scripts, that provide easy-to-operate, end-to-end Kubernetes cluster monitoring with Prometheus, using the Prometheus Operator.

NOTE: The data retention size and period of Prometheus are respectively 7GB and 16 days.
