Health Check script which validates total cluster health

The idea is to provide customers with a simple health-check script they can run before an upgrade, planned shutdown, data-center power maintenance, or whenever they want to verify that their system is healthy. As of today, this process is mostly manual - customers collect logs for support team, run multiple commands, or rely on UI dashboard which have proven insufficient. This process is time-consuming, inconsistent, and often requires involvement from multiple Support/Engineering teams.Customers would gain a fast, consistent, and self-service way to validate their environment. Support teams would benefit from fewer manual health-check requests and better quality information when escalation is actually required.The script should automatically identify whether the system uses Data Foundation or GDP/Scale and run the checks relevant to that environment. It should check the important areas such as storage components, OCP and Fusion operators, node and pod health, versions, services, and other conditions/components that could affect an upgrade or a shutdown.
