Run the GKE Metadata Server on this node. The GKE Metadata Server exposes
a metadata API to workloads that is compatible with the V1 Compute
Metadata APIs exposed by the Compute Engine and App Engine Metadata
Servers. This feature can only be enabled if Workload Identity is enabled
at the cluster level.
