Buglists are useful.

For instance - next on my list was observability.  That mean deploying Prometheus. Then I saw this:

Nothing to do for Prometheus #1576

Fortunately, I'm late to the conversation that yields:

As a workaround on 1.19 you can do as suggested in kubernetes/kube-state-metrics#1190 (comment) and modify https://github.com/prometheus-operator/kube-prometheus/blob/980e95de011319b88a3b9c0787a81dcdf338a898/manifests/kube-state-metrics-deployment.yaml#L26 from

image: quay.io/coreos/kube-state-metrics:v1.9.7

to

image: gcr.io/k8s-staging-kube-state-metrics/kube-state-metrics-arm64:v1.9.7

and everything comes up as expected.

Yay!  ( I think. One finds out by giving it a go! )
