[detectors/alibaba] Contribute alibaba/ecs detector from resourcedetectionprocessor #8960

Description

@paulojmdias

Problem Statement

collector-contrib/processor/resourcedetectionprocessor/internal/alibaba/ecs implements a resource detector for Alibaba Cloud ECS instances. There is currently no equivalent in go-contrib/detectors/, which means Alibaba Cloud detection is only available to collector-contrib pipelines and not to any Go SDK user.

Proposed Solution

Add a new detectors/alibaba package implementing the Alibaba Cloud ECS detector as a resource.Detector, ported from the collector-contrib implementation, so that collector-contrib/processor/resourcedetectionprocessor can delegate to it and any other Go SDK user can adopt it.

Prior Art

Additional Context

What the collector-contrib detector does:

  • Queries the Alibaba Cloud ECS Instance Metadata Service.
  • Emits: cloud.provider (alibaba_cloud), cloud.platform (alibaba_cloud_ecs), cloud.region, cloud.account.id, cloud.availability_zone, host.id, host.name, host.type.
