Dear Prometheus users, I’m happy to announce the first release candidate for the Prometheus server 2.24.0. Most notably, it offers built-in TLS for HTTP endpoints and adds a backfill feature to the promtool command line tool <https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/2.24/storage/#backfilling-from-openmetrics-format> (starting just with backfilling from an OpenMetrics file, we plan more backfill features in future releases, depending on user feedback).
The changelog and the binaries are available via GitHub <https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/tag/v2.24.0-rc.0>. You can find container images at Quay <https://quay.io/repository/prometheus/prometheus?tab=tags> and Docker Hub <https://hub.docker.com/r/prom/prometheus/tags>. We invite you to try this release candidate and give us feedback.
