The cloudprovider is being refactored out of kubernetes core. This is being
done by moving all the cloud-specific calls from kube-apiserver, kubelet and
kube-controller-manager into a separately maintained binary(by vendors) called
cloud-controller-manager. The Kubelet relies on the cloudprovider to detect information
about the node that it is running on. Some of the cloudproviders worked by
querying local information to obtain this information. In the new world of things,
local information cannot be relied on, since cloud-controller-manager will not
run on every node. Only one active instance of it will be run in the cluster.
Today, all calls to the cloudprovider are based on the nodename. Nodenames are
unqiue within the kubernetes cluster, but generally not unique within the cloud.
This model of addressing nodes by nodename will not work in the future because
local services cannot be queried to uniquely identify a node in the cloud. Therefore,
I propose that we perform all cloudprovider calls based on ProviderID. This ID is
a unique identifier for identifying a node on an external database (such as
the instanceID in aws cloud).
This method has been unused by k8s for some time, and yet is the last
piece of the cloud provider API that encourages provider names to be
human-friendly strings (this method applies a regex to instance names).
Actually removing this deprecated method is part of a long effort to
migrate from instance names to instance IDs in at least the OpenStack
provider plugin.
Mark NodeLegacyHostIP will be deprecated in 1.7;
Let cloudprovider that used to only set NodeLegacyHostIP set the IP as both InternalIP and ExternalIP, to allow dprecation in 1.7

We can't rely on the device name provided by Cinder, and thus must perform
detection based on the drive serial number (aka It's cinder ID) on the
kubelet itself.
This patch re-works the cinder volume attacher to ignore the supplied
deviceName, and instead defer to the pre-existing GetDevicePath method to
discover the device path based on it's serial number and /dev/disk/by-id
mapping.
This new behavior is controller by a config option, as falling back
to the cinder value when we can't discover a device would risk devices
not showing up, falling back to cinder's guess, and detecting the wrong
disk as attached.
At master volume reconciler, the information about which volumes are
attached to nodes is cached in actual state of world. However, this
information might be out of date in case that node is terminated (volume
is detached automatically). In this situation, reconciler assume volume
is still attached and will not issue attach operation when node comes
back. Pods created on those nodes will fail to mount.
This PR adds the logic to periodically sync up the truth for attached volumes kept in the actual state cache. If the volume is no longer attached to the node, the actual state will be updated to reflect the truth. In turn, reconciler will take actions if needed.
To avoid issuing many concurrent operations on cloud provider, this PR
tries to add batch operation to check whether a list of volumes are
attached to the node instead of one request per volume.
More details are explained in PR #33760
We had another bug where we confused the hostname with the NodeName.
To avoid this happening again, and to make the code more
self-documenting, we use types.NodeName (a typedef alias for string)
whenever we are referring to the Node.Name.
A tedious but mechanical commit therefore, to change all uses of the
node name to use types.NodeName
Also clean up some of the (many) places where the NodeName is referred
to as a hostname (not true on AWS), or an instanceID (not true on GCE),
etc.
