/kind bug
What steps did you take and what happened:
Deploy a machine using cluster-api-provider-aws, the machine Spec.ProviderID field will be empty
What did you expect to happen:
The Spec.ProviderID field should be set with a string in the same format as is populated by Spec.ProviderID on a Node object.
/priority important-longterm
/milestone v1alpha1
@detiber Do you have an example for the string format?
Could we copy the ProviderID from the Node object now that we're setting the reference?
@vincepri as long as we can query Node objects that belong to a remote k8s cluster, since the management cluster may not be local.
We could consider bumping this to Next if it comes down to the wire - we don't lose any functionality if the data is not populated.
