 This example aims to demonstrate the deployment of an nginx ingress controller and
 use a ConfigMap to enable nginx vts module and export metrics for prometheus,to enable 
 vts metric,you can simply run `kubectl apply -f nginx`,a deployment and service will be

+created which already has a `prometheus.io/scrape: 'true'` annotation and if you added
 the recommended Prometheus service-endpoint scraping [configuration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/prometheus/prometheus/master/documentation/examples/prometheus-kubernetes.yml),
 Prometheus will scrape it automatically and you start using the generated metrics right away.
