What we're seeing is a failed provisioning error when adding volumes, we hit this closed issue:

https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/58927 Kubernetes behaviour changed to fix this issue by switching to the */product_serial file as the source of truth.

But for our case the product_serial was incorrect, and the product_uuid was the source of truth, this meant when Kubernetes went to get the node it failed to find the VM:
