Research direction

Start in internal/provider/provider.go, where the cloud provider registration function receives the config io.Reader, then inspect the README configuration guidance. Trace how --cloud-config reaches that function and make sure a non-empty reader produces visible feedback. Done means passing --cloud-config warns or errors, and the README states that configuration uses OXIDE_HOST, OXIDE_TOKEN, and OXIDE_PROJECT instead.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Bug Kubernetes Cloud Controller Manager (CCM)

Context

The cloud provider registration func (internal/provider/provider.go) discards the io.Reader for the config file — configuration is entirely env-var based (OXIDE_HOST/OXIDE_TOKEN/OXIDE_PROJECT). A user passing --cloud-config gets silence: their config file does nothing and there's no hint why.

Scope

  • Log a warning (or return an error) when the config reader is non-empty.
  • Document in the README that configuration is env-var based and --cloud-config is unsupported.

Done when

Passing --cloud-config produces visible feedback instead of silence.
