# Prometheus Operator Addon [Prometheus Operator](https://coreos.com/operators/prometheus) creates/configures/manages Prometheus clusters atop Kubernetes. This addon deploy prometheus-operator and [kube-prometheus](https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator/blob/master/contrib/kube-prometheus/README.md) in a kOps cluster. ## Prerequisites Version `>=0.18.0` of the Prometheus Operator requires a Kubernetes cluster of version `>=1.8.0`. If you are just starting out with the Prometheus Operator, it is highly recommended to use the latest version. If you have an older version of Kubernetes and the Prometheus Operator running, we recommend upgrading Kubernetes first and then the Prometheus Operator. ## Usage ### Deploy To Cluster ```console kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/kops/master/addons/prometheus-operator/v0.26.0.yaml ``` ### Updating the addon Run the script below. ```console addons/prometheus-operator/sync-repo.sh "v0.26.0" ```
