Evolving Prometheus for More Use Cases

summary
Prometheus adds six new service discovery integrations and now lets operators limit label size and scrape body size and set scrape intervals/timeouts via relabeling, reducing outages from runaway targets. Backfilling uses the CLI command tsdb create blocks from openmetrics to import large series and replay recording rules. Exemplars carry trace IDs (openmetrics only) so dashboards link to traces. Multi-cluster options include federation, remote_read, remote_write to systems like Thanos or Cortex, plus a low-footprint prometheus agent mode for edge/ephemeral nodes and evolving high‑density histogram storage.
