    Prometheus Operator creates/configures/manages Prometheus clusters atop Kubernetes

  • I see that the operator is a community-run project. Does anybody have any experience (positive or negative) on running the operator itself? I wonder if it is more for multi-tenant Prometheus. For single tenant Prometheus collection, I guess the big gain is abstracting scrape config into ServiceMonitor and PodMonitor resources? Is there anything else that this makes much better?
