How deeply does Machine Learning Platform Engineering cover service discovery?

Explains pod annotations, metrics endpoints, target verification, and querying, without detailing the discovery mechanism’s internals.

Service discovery

As explained in Machine Learning Platform Engineering

Service discovery is the automatic identification of available application services and their network locations.

Service discovery automatically identifies application services and their network locations. In a Kubernetes monitoring deployment, Prometheus uses it to find applications whose metrics can be scraped, allowing newly deployed services to enter monitoring without manually listing each target. section 3.5

Annotated metrics service

A pod declares prometheus.io/scrape: 'true', prometheus.io/path: '/metrics', and prometheus.io/port: '80'. Prometheus discovers the pod, scrapes its application metrics, and makes them available for PromQL queries and Grafana dashboards. section 3.5
