Prometheus - New Azure managed service

Prometheus, the go to monitoring tool for open source applications, but when it comes to monitoring containerized workloads, Prometheus play very well, because it's backed up by open source community.

Challenge, when it comes to enterprises, especially using it inside Azure Kubernetes service, 🙋‍♂️🤔 question often asked is how to manage each Prometheus without getting escalation email from security team ⚠️☠️.

Solution, Implement Prometheus as a feature inside Azure monitor, and add extensions like Azure Monitor container insights and Azure Managed Grafana into it, hope other teams in Azure will create extensions for their services too.

Prometheus is not free service, detail pricing
