Support Region for DescribeInstance Call

[atsai1220]

What would you like to be added:

• I would like to see the cloud-controller's DescribeInstance query also use the instance's region.

Why is this needed:

• This allows us to create workers in another region (not considering storage needs).

Questions:

• Are the repercussions for disabling node-life-cycle controller?

Findings: Currently nodes from another region are "not found" by node-life-cycle controller and will be promptly deleted from the cluster after joining.

I can see from CloudTrail that it was looking for an instance in the wrong region and receiving an error

you can set the region using the cloud config https://github.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-aws/blob/master/pkg/providers/v1/config/config.go#L25 . Can you try using that ?

[cartermckinnon]

Setting the region in the config won't allow you to handle instances in multiple regions, but it will allow you to e.g. run the AWS CCM on-prem or in another region.

The AWS CCM assumes that your resources are in a single region in many places. I'm not necessarily opposed to changing this in the future, but it will require changes far beyond the DescribeInstances calls.
