List of Beta Kubernetes Metrics

Beta metrics observe a looser API contract than its stable counterparts. No labels can be removed from beta metrics during their lifetime, however, labels can be added while the metric is in the beta stage. This offers the assurance that beta metrics will honor existing dashboards and alerts, while allowing for amendments in the future.
