Description

**Describe scenario**
In large AKS clusters (800–900 nodes, 12,000 pods), cAdvisor generates a massive number of metrics, many of which are not useful for our monitoring system or HPA. The volume of metrics from cAdvisor puts significant pressure on our Prometheus.

**Question**
Since both kubelet and cAdvisor are managed by AKS, I’d like to ask: are there any parameters or configurations that allow users to disable unnecessary cAdvisor metrics? For example, parameters like enable_metrics or whitelisted_container_labels.
