We could potentially patch Charmed Kubernetes against this by not reading /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid (https://github.com/charmed-kubernetes/charm-kubernetes-master/blob/master/reactive/kubernetes_master.py#L2244), but instead using the workaround published by vmware at https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/53609:

# dd if=/sys/firmware/dmi/entries/1-0/raw bs=1 count=24 status=none | python -c 'import struct; import sys; print("UUID: %08X-%04X-%04X-%04X-%04X%08X" % struct.unpack(">8xLHHHHL", sys.stdin.read()))'
