VMware ESXi node location information received by K8s Rancher

Hi, is there a way to transfer information from vsqhere guest node to Kubernetes Rancher Cluster?

Information like:

On which network protection zone and on which VMware ESXi host the Rancher node is currently located.

We need the information for our Rancher kube-scheduler and the customer application.

Our customer wants to be able to command his application when a cluster part is down or a network protection zone is unreachable.

Thanks

A vSphere cluster may consist of multiple groups of VMs with distinct properties, such as the amount of memory or the number of vCPUs. This grouping allows for fine-grained control over the sizing of nodes for each Kubernetes role.                                       prepaidgiftbalance.com

How can i transfer the group names (labels),you were talking about , from VSphere to Kubernetes (Rancher)

So that customers on the K8s cluster can evaluate the data and best distribute their app payload across the clusters.

Is there a documentaiton for group labeling and how to transfer the group information to the k8s ?
