Deploying Prometheus
Now that we understand a little more about observability and monitoring, as well as their distinctions and how Prometheus fits into it all, we can deploy Prometheus.

Consequently, it is recommended that you follow along with the deployment, even if you have prior experience.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Components of a Prometheus stack
- Provisioning Kubernetes
