    Hello Hemanth Kumar Reddy Rachala,

    Thanks for your question

    Container Insights is a feature of Azure Monitor specifically designed for containerized applications. It provides performance monitoring for container workloads deployed to AKS.

    See:

    Prometheus is an open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit, and Azure Managed Prometheus is the managed version of this service in Azure.

    Grafana is an open-source analytics and monitoring platform, and Azure Managed Grafana is the managed version in Azure.

    To integrate you will generally need to expose your metrics. Use a library like prometheus-net to expose metrics. and add annotations to your Kubernetes deployment to enable Prometheus scraping:

    please take a look at:
