feat: Replace endpoints with endpointslices as default resource

mrueg · mrueg · commit d719c8056bf5 · 2025-04-23T22:21:05.000+02:00
BREAKING CHANGE: endpoints are not a default resource anymore and metrics need to be replaced with endpointslices' metrics. https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/04/23/kubernetes-v1-33-release/#deprecation-of-the-stable-endpoints-api.
