Research direction

Start with the CCM’s InstanceMetadata implementation and its Zone method, then trace how the Oxide API could expose a tenant-visible instance-to-failure-domain identifier. Coordinate that API dependency and verify that each failure domain produces a stable, distinct topology value so Kubernetes receives topology.kubernetes.io/zone labels rather than the generic sled value.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Enhancement Kubernetes Cloud Controller Manager (CCM)

The CCM’s InstanceMetadata implementation returns provider ID, instance type, and node addresses but omits zone and region metadata. Kubernetes consequently receives no topology.kubernetes.io/zone label and cannot use scheduler topology constraints to spread workloads across Oxide failure domains.

Populate a stable, distinct topology value for each Oxide failure domain through InstanceMetadata.Zone. This may depend on the Oxide API exposing a tenant-visible instance-to-failure-domain identifier; coordinate that dependency rather than assigning every node the generic value sled.
