Mode is the configuration for how to expose metadata to
workloads running on the node.
Values:
MODE_UNSPECIFIED (0):
Not set.
GCE_METADATA (1):
Expose all Compute Engine metadata to pods.
GKE_METADATA (2):
Run the GKE Metadata Server on this node. The

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.
