Kubernetes 1.35+ can now expose node topology labels to pods via the Downward API (KEP-4742). This MR uses that Kubernetes-native feature to add Vault Enterprise redundancy zone support, so users can deploy Vault clusters the HashiCorp-recommended way for better availability and fault tolerance across zones.

Tested on GKE 1.35.0-gke.1403000 cluster to validate end-to-end functionality.

Requirements:

  • Vault Enterprise
  • Kubernetes 1.35+
  • server.ha.enabled=true and server.ha.raft.enabled=true
  • Nodes labeled with topology.kubernetes.io/zone
  • autopilot_redundancy_zone = "VAULT_REDUNDANCY_ZONE" placeholder in server.ha.raft.config

Related issue: #1053

The notes.bats tests use `helm install --dry-run`, which contacts the
Kubernetes API server and fails in the unit test CI pipeline where no
cluster is available. Move the file to test/acceptance/ and gate each
test on Kubernetes >= 1.35 to match the redundancy zones requirement.
