89fc4e306972604eba2dcb961a6d29cc27a668ad introduced the new Prometheus
rule file custom resource definition. This patch adjusts the
kube-prometheus project to use the new custom resource definition.
Since PR 460 [1] the Prometheus Operator is using Kubernetes Custom Resource
Definitions instead of Kubernetes Third Party Resources. Permissions to
handle Third Party Resources in the RBAC rules of the Prometheus
Operator is thereby obsolete.
[1] https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator/pull/460
With this patch the Prometheus Operator checks if there are any
Kubernetes ConfigMaps inside the Prometheus namespace which fullfill the
`Spec.RuleSelector` requirement. If so, it creates a RuleFile for each
key in the `ConfigMap.Spec.Data` map inside the Prometheus namespace.
This patch introduces a new Custom Resource Definition to the
Prometheus Operator - the Rule CRD. It addresses two main
needs:
1. Prometheus (alerting and recording) Rule validation during creation time
via Kubernetes Custom Resource Definition validation.
2. Life-cycle management of Prometheus application Rules alongside the
application itself, inside the applications Kubernetes namespace, not
necessarily the namespace of the scraping Prometheus instance.
A user defines Prometheus alerting and recording Rules via a Kubernetes
Custom Resource Definition. These Custom Resource Definitions can be
fully validated by the Kubernetes API server during creation time via
automatically generated OpenAPI specifications. Instead of the
restriction of a Prometheus instance to only select Rule definitions
inside its own namespace, the Prometheus specification is extended to
also specify namespaces to look for Rule Custom Resource Definitions
outside its own namespace.

Dependent technical changes:
- prometheus: Use github.com/jimmidyson/configmap-reload to reload rules
- prometheus: Remove Prometheus Statefulset deletion function. Starting
with K8s >=1.8 this is handled via OwnerReferences.
- prometheus: Do not add rule files checksum to Prometheus configuration
secret
- prometheus: Update StatefulSet only on relevant changes. Instead of
updating the Prometheus StatefulSet on every `sync()` run, only update
it if the input parameters to `makeStatefulSet` change. Enforce this
via a checksum of the parameters which is saved inside the annotations
of the statefulset.
- e2e/prometheus: Check how often resources (Secret, ConfigMap,
Prometheus CRD, Service) are updated to enforce that Prometheus Operator
only updated created resources if necessary.
- contrib/prometheus-config-reloader: Remove logic to retriev K8s
ConfigMaps. These are mounted into the pod right away now.
The addon resizer was referring to an incorrect role binding and was unable to
access the API. This changes the rolebinding name to refer to the correctly
defined rolebinding.
With 1d00e0ab ("ServiceMonitor: Enable Prometheus to select ServMon
outside own ns") merged: To emphasize the fact, that ServiceMonitors can
be deployed alongside their targets, this patch moves the Alertmanager,
Kube-State-Metrics, Node-Exporter and Prometheus Operator
Service-Monitor into the respective target folder in the kube-prometheus
project.
