Analyzed version: 6.0.0

Metrics Server aggregates resource usage data, such as container CPU and memory usage, in a Kubernetes cluster and makes it available via the Metrics API.

Prometheus, a CNCF project, is a systems and service monitoring system. It collects metrics from configured targets at given intervals, evaluates rule expressions, displays the results, and can trigger alerts if some condition is observed to be true.

This chart bootstraps a Prometheus deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.
