Describe the issue you're reporting

Hi, I went through the documentation and observed that cloud.region is not exposed for AKS and EKS.

• Is there any particular reason for not exposing this information ?
• Is there any possible way to get region information with current resource detection
• If its not possible to get region, are there any other alternatives to achieve this funcationality ?

@prudhvi-hasura cloud.region is added by the respective provider's instance metadata detector. So for your use case, take a look at the ec2 and azure detectors. An e.g. config will look like

resourcedetection:
  detectors:
  - eks
  - ec2
  ec2:
    resource_attributes:
      cloud.region:
        enabled: true
      cloud.account.id:
        enabled: false
      cloud.availability_zone:
        enabled: false
      host.type:
        enabled: false
      host.name:
        enabled: false
