Hello,

Let's say I am bumping all my prometheus instances to at least 2 replicas 
to achieve HA. I add Thanos, I have a global view, metrics are 
deduplicated, all is fine.

One day, I have a huge spike because of high cardinality metrics, and this 
will kill my prometheus instance. But wouldn't this kill all of my replicas 
as I am scraping the very same targets with each of those which is the best 
practice, right?

So I guess, all of the replicas will be killed by oomkill, and not event 
Thanos can really help me in this case. Or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!

Another quick question: let's say I am using Istio. Would it make sense to 
add Thanos to an istio-injected namespace with envoy-proxies or the 
overhead/complexity is not necessary and there's no real advantage to do so?
