These metrics are going to be quite expensive.

Is your goal to monitor the elb readiness via the pods? Because for pod readiness, you should already be able to alert on kube_pod_status_ready.

Pod readiness doesn't necessarily capture what I'm looking for here. It's possible for Kubernetes to consider a pod ready, but have pod readiness gates failing; e.g. a misconfiguration on an associated ingress could prevent the AWS LB controller from provisioning an ELB, which would be reflected on the pod readiness gate, but the pod itself would still show up as N/N ready because it's fine from the kubelet's perspective.
