* Typhoon now supports arbitrary combinations of controller, worker,
and worker pool architectures so we can drop the specific details of
full-cluster vs hybrid cluster. Just pick the architecture for each
group of nodes accordingly.
* However, if a custom node taint is set, continue to configure the
cluster's daemonsets accordingly with `daemonset_tolerations`
* Drop support for `cluster_domain_suffix` customization and
always use `cluster.local`. Many components in the Kubernetes
ecosystem assume this default suffix and its very rare to be
setting a special value here these days
* Cleanup a few variables that are seldom used
* Use flexible orchestration mode. Azure has started to recommend this
mode because it allows interacting with VMSS instances like regular VMs
via the CLI or via the Azure Portal
* Add options to allow workers nodes to use ephemeral local disks
* Add `controller_disk_type` and `controller_disk_size` variables
* Add `worker_disk_type`, `worker_disk_size`, and `worker_ephemeral_disk` variables
* Rename the region variable to location to align with Azure
platform conventions, where resources are created within an
Azure location, which are themselves part of broader geographical
regions
* Define a dual-stack virtual network with both IPv4 and IPv6 private
address space. Change `host_cidr` variable (string) to a `network_cidr`
variable (object) with "ipv4" and "ipv6" fields that list CIDR strings.
* Define dual-stack controller and worker subnets. Disable Azure
default outbound access (a deprecated fallback mechanism)
* Enable dual-stack load balancing to Kubernetes Ingress by adding
a public IPv6 frontend IP and LB rule to the load balancer.
* Enable worker outbound IPv6 connectivity through load balancer
SNAT by adding an IPv6 frontend IP and outbound rule
* Configure controller nodes with a public IPv6 address to provide
direct outbound IPv6 connectivity
* Add an IPv6 worker backend pool. Azure requires separate IPv4 and
IPv6 backend pools, though the health probe can be shared
* Extend network security group rules for IPv6 source/destinations
Checklist:
Access to controller and worker nodes via IPv6 addresses:
* SSH access to controller nodes via public IPv6 address
* SSH access to worker nodes via (private) IPv6 address (via
controller)
Outbound IPv6 connectivity from controller and worker nodes:
```
nc -6 -zv ipv6.google.com 80
Ncat: Version 7.94 ( https://nmap.org/ncat )
Ncat: Connected to [2607:f8b0:4001:c16::66]:80.
Ncat: 0 bytes sent, 0 bytes received in 0.02 seconds.
```
Serve Ingress traffic via IPv4 or IPv6 just requires setting
up A and AAAA records and running the ingress controller with
`hostNetwork: true` since, hostPort only forwards IPv4 traffic
* Previously: Typhoon provisions clusters with kube-system components
like CoreDNS, kube-proxy, and a chosen CNI provider (among flannel,
Calico, or Cilium) pre-installed. This is convenient since clusters
come with "batteries included". But it also means upgrading these
components is generally done in lock-step, by upgrading to a new
Typhoon / Kubernetes release
* It can be valuable to manage these components with a separate
plan/apply process or through automations and deploy systems. For
example, this allows managing CoreDNS separately from the cluster's
lifecycle.
* These "components" will continue to be pre-installed by default,
but a new `components` variable allows them to be disabled and
managed as "addons", components you apply after cluster creation
and manage on a rolling basis. For some of these, we may provide
Terraform modules to aide in managing these components.
```
module "cluster" {
# defaults
components = {
enable = true
coredns = {
enable = true
}
kube_proxy = {
enable = true
}
# Only the CNI set in var.networking will be installed
flannel = {
enable = true
}
calico = {
enable = true
}
cilium = {
enable = true
}
}
}
```
An earlier variable `install_container_networking = true/false` has
been removed, since it can now be achieved with this more extensible
and general components mechanism by setting the chosen networking
provider enable field to false.
* Output the network security group name and address prefixes
for controller nodes, to allow adding custom network security
rules that apply specifically to controller nodes
* To accompany the restructure of the bare-metal modules to
allow discrete workers to be defined and attached to a cluster
(#1295), the `workers` variable (older way, used for defining
homogeneous workers inline) should be optional and default
to an empty list
* Add docs covering inline vs discrete metal workers
Fix#1301
* Kinvolk now publishes Flatcar Linux images for ARM64
* For now, amd64 image must specify a plan while arm64 images
must NOT specify a plan due to how Kinvolk publishes.
