Label nodes in a single zone IG with AZ ID

[backjo]

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST?: Feature Request What happened: As a cluster operator, it would be useful to have Instance Manager label nodes - and annotate the IG - in a single AZ IG with the Availability Zone ID (i.e. usw2-az2, NOT us-west-2a). This could be useful for operators that run clusters across multiple accounts, as it would allow them to write automation against the AZ ID - which would be useful in cases where a single AZ is having an issue in an AWS region.

Technically the subnet selection in the CR corresponds with AZs, so are you suggesting to resolve the AZs for those subnets and maintain an annotation such as instancemgr.keikoproj.io/availability-zones: usw2-az1,usw2-az2,usw2-az3 ?

I think the use-case for annotating nodes is understandable, but maybe the IG metadata for AZ should be in the status field since we don't want people changing it

@eytan-avisror I think it's more desirable to keep the metadata as a label on the IG - so that folks that may want to use it can target it with a selector. If we implement it correctly, I'd expect the controller to just reset the label on reconcile if someone changes it.
