getting server IP: %w

Error message

getting server IP: %w

What it means

In buildCloudGroup, resolving the public IP of a Scaleway server (typically via the metadata/API per server) failed while populating cloudInstance.PrivateIP. The wrapped error identifies the SDK call that failed for that particular server.

Solutions

1. Inspect the wrapped error for the failing IP-lookup call
2. Verify the server has an attached public IP
3. Retry: IP resolution can fail transiently while a server is provisioning
