Special notes for your reviewer:

I also see that setting the type string is only done at discovery. IMHO, it should have been reconciled because you might scale the nodes via vSphere.

Hi @MindTooth. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.

Do you think it will be okay to add rhel10_64Guest also, now that RHEL 10 officially announced? I see that it's added to vSphere yet by VMware, but could be a future proofing.

Do you think it will be okay to add rhel10_64Guest also, now that RHEL 10 officially announced? I see that it's added to vSphere yet by VMware, but could be a future proofing.

Support for RHEL 10 is now added to vSphere 9.0.
