# Version Checker - Container Image Version Monitoring for Kubernetes
# Namespace: version-checker-system
# 
# This deploys jetstack/version-checker which monitors all container images
# running in the cluster and compares them to latest available upstream versions.
# Metrics are exposed for Prometheus scraping.
#
# Documentation: https://github.com/jetstack/version-checker
#
# Metrics exposed:
# - version_checker_is_latest_version{...} = 1 (up to date) or 0 (outdated)
# - version_checker_image_info{image, current_version, latest_version, ...}
