Automatic merge from submit-queue GCE provider: Limit Filter calls to regexps rather than insane blobs Filters can't exceed 4k, and GET requests against the GCE API are also limited, so these break down in different ways at different cluster counts. Fix it by introducing an advisory `node-instance-prefix` configuration in the GCE provider that can hint the `EnsureLoadBalancer`/`UpdateLoadBalancer code` (and the firewall creation/update code). If it's not there, or wrong (a hostname that's registered violates it), just ignore it and grab the whole project. Fixes #27731 []()
Google Container-VM Image (GCI)
GCI is a container-optimized OS image for the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). We built GCI primarily for running Google services on GCP. Unlike the open preview version of container-vm, Google Container-VM Image is based on the open source Chromium OS project, allowing us greater control over the build management, security compliance, and customizations for GCP.
