Who was the original creator of Prometheus before it was donated to CNCF?

• A. Google
• B. Red Hat
• C. SoundCloud
• D. Facebook

Answer: (C)

Prometheus started as an internal monitoring tool at SoundCloud, created to collect and query multi-dimensional time-series metrics for their services. It was later opened to the community and donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, becoming a CNCF project. Because of that origin, SoundCloud is the original creator before the donation. The other organizations—Google, Red Hat, and Facebook—were not the builders of Prometheus.
