[FEA]: Allow Tenants to learn if Machines associated with Instances have health issue/needs evacuation

[thossain-nv]

Is this a new feature, an improvement, or a change to existing functionality?

New Feature

How would you describe the priority of this feature request

High

Please provide a clear description of problem this feature solves

Machine health alerts are currently not exposed to Tenants since they may contain alerts are not meant for Tenant consumption or may have internal Provider notes.

However Tenants should be able to programmatically learn whether the underlying Machine for an Instance has hardware issues and will need to be taken offline.

Feature Description

Allows Tenants to receive more information about the health state of Machines associated with their Instances through Machine of Instance API endpoint.

Describe your ideal solution

There are few possible solutions:

• Selectively expose Machine health alerts to Tenants (right now they don't see any alerts because it might contain internal info) over Machine endpoint
• Expose health alerts for Instance endpoint
• Expose a flag for Instance that indicates that Tenant should evacuate the Machine

I P1ed this since I think it'll become more and more important as carbide services other systems instead of people.

@Matthias247 for input.

Are we thinking that we want to have an additional "health report" classification to be "Instance Visible" (or default to instance visible and have SupressInstanceVisibility instead)?

That way we can selectively expose health alerts to an instance?

Or a classification of "PleaseReturnMachine" or something :-)
