Let's begin by creating a new instance of Prometheus and deploying it to the server:

1. To create a new instance of Prometheus, move into the correct repository path:

cd chapter09/

2. Ensure that no other test environments are running and spin up this chapter's environment:

vagrant global-status
vagrant up

3. Validate the successful deployment of the test environment using the following code:

vagrant status

This will output the following:

Current machine states:

prometheus                   running (virtualbox)

The VM is running. To stop this VM, you can run `vagrant halt` to
shut it down forcefully, or you can run `vagrant suspend` to simply
suspend the virtual machine. In either case, to restart it again,
simply run `vagrant up`.

The new instance will be available for inspection and the Prometheus web interface will be accessible at http://192.168.42.10:9090.

You can now access the prometheus instance by executing the following command:

vagrant ssh prometheus

Now that you're connected to the prometheus instance, you can validate the instructions described in this chapter.
