This is a first-aid bandage to let admission controller ignore persistent
volumes that are being provisioned right now and thus may not exist in
external cloud infrastructure yet.
We are (sadly) using a copy-and-paste of the GCE PD code for AWS EBS.
This code hasn't been updated in a while, and it seems that the GCE code
has some code to make volume mounting more robust that we should copy.
For AWS EBS, a volume can only be attached to a node in the same AZ.
The scheduler must therefore detect if a volume is being attached to a
pod, and ensure that the pod is scheduled on a node in the same AZ as
the volume.
So that the scheduler need not query the cloud provider every time, and
to support decoupled operation (e.g. bare metal) we tag the volume with
our placement labels. This is done automatically by means of an
admission controller on AWS when a PersistentVolume is created backed by
an EBS volume.
Support for tagging GCE PVs will follow.
Pods that specify a volume directly (i.e. without using a
PersistentVolumeClaim) will not currently be scheduled correctly (i.e.
they will be scheduled without zone-awareness).
