This requires passing a cloud object in additional places throughout the validation package and originating mostly from cmd/kops
This means that some kops commands now require valid cloud provider credentials, but I don't think this is an issue because the vast majority of use-cases already require the same cloud provider credentials in order to interact with the state store.
