+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1773243 +++ The cloud provider infrastructure type does not tell the whole story for what sort of deployment is in play. Since it is very important for triage and remote health monitoring to know the difference between bare metal, virt with no cloud provider, virt with cloud provider, or mismatched cloud provider and virt platform, we should introduce a metric that captures the virt type of a node and report it via telemetry. Metric will be virt_platform{type="baremetal|xen|kvm|..."}, and reported per cluster as count of nodes with a given virt type. A node may have multiple virt types. Use the standard package 'virt-what' to capture this metric in the node_exporter. Should be backported to 4.2 to enable better support.
