High-resolution user-defined metrics in Cloud Monitoring

Higher resolution metrics are critical for monitoring dynamically changing environments and rapidly changing application metrics. Examples where high resolution metrics are critical include high volume e-commerce, live streaming, autoscaling bursty workloads on Kubernetes clusters, and more. Higher resolution custom, Prometheus, and agent metrics are now generally available, and can be written at a granularity of 10 seconds. Previously these metric types could only be written once every 60 seconds.
