Virtual nodes (virtual-kubelet)let you scale quickly and easily run Kubernetes pods on Container Instances where you'll pay only for the container instance runtime. Demo application using ServiceMonitor for Prometheus, a HPA, and a custom container that will count the instances of the application and expose them to Prometheus.
