[Pixie] Augment Pixie Metadata Context

[nate-double-u]

Pixie helps contextualize the data it collects by joining it with the relevant K8s metadata. This helps us answer questions like “Pod A has a HTTP request latency of 30ms” and allows us to build resource-level visualizations. Currently, Pixie pulls in metadata about namespaces, pods, and services, but is currently missing other useful K8s resources. You can help add resources to Pixie’s metadata context and experiment with what views and dashboards can leverage this new metadata.
