What type of PR is this?

/kind bug

What this PR does / why we need it:

Upcoming MIG template nodes injected into ClusterSnapshot have an empty ProviderID. ScaleUp quotas tracker calls NodeGroupForNode on every snapshot node, including those placeholders. GCE currently returns an error for an empty ProviderID, which aborts ScaleUp. AWS and Azure already return (nil, nil) for empty or unrecognized ProviderIDs. This change makes GCE do the same. GetMigForInstance errors are still returned.

The path is ScaleUp -> newQuotasTracker -> calculateUsages -> NodeGroupForNode

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Special notes for your reviewer:

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?

Fix GCE ScaleUp aborting when upcoming snapshot nodes have an empty ProviderID.

Additional documentation e.g., KEPs (Kubernetes Enhancement Proposals), usage docs, etc.:


Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of malformed GCE node provider IDs.
    • Unrecognized or incomplete node IDs are now safely ignored instead of causing parsing errors.
    • Invalid provider IDs receive clearer validation feedback.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for missing provider IDs, lookup errors, and invalid provider ID formats.

Upcoming MIG template nodes injected into ClusterSnapshot have an empty
ProviderID. The ScaleUp quotas tracker walks those nodes and GCE currently
returns an error, which aborts ScaleUp. AWS and Azure already return nil, nil.

Hi @victorgs. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The GCE cloud provider now validates provider IDs and treats malformed or missing IDs as unrecognized nodes. Tests cover provider ID validation, MIG lookup errors, and nodes without provider IDs.

Changes

GCE provider ID handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider ID validation
cluster-autoscaler/cloudprovider/gce/gce_cloud_provider.go, cluster-autoscaler/cloudprovider/gce/gce_cloud_provider_test.go
GceRefFromProviderId validates the gce:// scheme and rejects empty or incomplete project, zone, and name components.
Node group lookup handling
cluster-autoscaler/cloudprovider/gce/gce_cloud_provider.go, cluster-autoscaler/cloudprovider/gce/gce_cloud_provider_test.go
NodeGroupForNode logs malformed provider IDs and returns no node group without an error. Tests cover MIG lookup errors and empty or unrecognized provider IDs.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 8ddd9

This PR makes GCE ignore empty ProviderIDs when evaluating snapshot nodes, preventing ScaleUp from aborting on placeholders. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Add a direct test for malformed provider IDs.

This test covers only an empty ProviderID. Add a non-empty malformed or wrong-scheme ID and assert that NodeGroupForNode returns (nil, nil) without calling GetMigForInstance. This protects the changed boundary contract for all parsing errors.
