Automatic merge from submit-queue (batch tested with PRs 55112, 56029, 55740, 56095, 55845). If you want to cherry-pick this change to another branch, please follow the instructions <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/cherry-picks.md">here</a>. Updating vsphere cloud provider to support k8s cluster spread across multiple vCenters **What this PR does / why we need it**: vSphere cloud provider in Kubernetes 1.8 was designed to work only if all the nodes of the cluster are in one single datacenter folder. This is a hard restriction that makes the cluster not span across different folders/datacenter/vCenters. Users have use-cases to span the cluster across datacenters/vCenters. **Which issue(s) this PR fixes** Fixes # https://github.com/vmware/kubernetes/issues/255 **Special notes for your reviewer**: This is a change purely in vsphere cloud provider and no changes in kubernetes core are needed. **Release note**: ```release-note With this change - User should be able to create k8s cluster which spans across multiple ESXi clusters, datacenters or even vCenters. - vSphere cloud provider (VCP) uses OS hostname and not vSphere Inventory VM Name. That means, now VCP can handle cases where user changes VM inventory name. - VCP can handle cases where VM migrates to other ESXi cluster or datacenter or vCenter. The only requirement is the shared storage. VCP needs shared storage on all Node VMs. ``` Internally tested and reviewed the code. @tthole, @shaominchen, @abrarshivani |

Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts, providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications.
Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half of experience at Google running production workloads at scale using a system called Borg, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.
Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). If you are a company that wants to help shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF. For details about who's involved and how Kubernetes plays a role, read the CNCF announcement.
To start using Kubernetes
See our documentation on kubernetes.io.
Try our interactive tutorial.
Take a free course on Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes.
To start developing Kubernetes
The community repository hosts all information about building Kubernetes from source, how to contribute code and documentation, who to contact about what, etc.
If you want to build Kubernetes right away there are two options:
You have a working Go environment.
$ go get -d k8s.io/kubernetes
$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes
$ make
You have a working Docker environment.
$ git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
$ cd kubernetes
$ make quick-release
If you are less impatient, head over to the developer's documentation.
Support
If you need support, start with the troubleshooting guide and work your way through the process that we've outlined.
That said, if you have questions, reach out to us one way or another.
