Get used AMI-Images by metrics

[tingeltangelthomas]

Description

Hi all,

What problem are you trying to solve? I'm going to regulary update the ami images of 30+ EKS clusters. I would like to have an overview which clusters already updated all nodes to the new ami image. The other side: I'd like to see in Grafana, if there is some cluster running a node with an image which should be already replaced. I could not find this information in the metrics labels provided by karpenter. Please let me know, if I'm wrong!

How important is this feature to you? It would make my life easier and it would make also the Karpenter process of image lifecycle more obvious.

It'd be great to surface AMI/kubelet/kernel version in metrics provided by Karpenter!
