You should also be able to edit the `prometheus` api object created, for
example to have a spec like:

> kind: "Prometheus"

> spec:

>   resources:

>       memory: 500Mi

Note that the actual memory usage needed will vary based on the services
monitored, retention period, number of node-exporters running, etc etc.

Setting the 'resources' field of the 'Prometheus' kind is a good way to
change the resources of the created statefulset.
