* Add Terraform strip markers to consume beginning and
trailing whitespace in templated Kubelet arguments for
podman (Fedora CoreOS only)
* Fix initial `worker_node_labels` being quietly ignored
on Fedora CoreOS cloud platforms that offer the feature
* Close https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/issues/650
* Add docs on manually uploading a Flatcar Linux DigitalOcean
bin image as a custom image and using a data reference
* Set status of Flatcar Linux on DigitalOcean to alpha
* IPv6 is not supported for DigitalOcean custom images
* Fix the last minor issue for Fedora CoreOS clusters to pass CNCF's
Kubernetes conformance tests
* Kubelet supports a seldom used feature `kubectl logs --limit-bytes=N`
to trim a log stream to a desired length. Kubelet handles this in the
CRI driver. The Kubelet docker shim only supports the limit bytes
feature when Docker is configured with the default `json-file` logging
driver
* CNCF conformance tests started requiring limit-bytes be supported,
indirectly forcing the log driver choice until either the Kubelet or
the conformance tests are fixed
* Fedora CoreOS defaults Docker to use `journald` (desired). For now,
as a workaround to offer conformant clusters, the log driver can
be set back to `json-file`. RHEL CoreOS likely won't have noticed the
non-conformance since its using crio runtime
* https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/86367
Note: When upstream has a fix, the aim is to drop the docker config
override and use the journald default
* Add docs on manually uploading a Flatcar Linux GCE/GCP gzipped
tarball image as a Compute Engine image for use with the Typhoon
container-linux module
* Set status of Flatcar Linux on Google Cloud to alpha
* Add Typhoon Fedora CoreOS on Google Cloud as alpha
* Add docs on uploading the Fedora CoreOS GCP gzipped tarball to
Google Cloud storage to create a boot disk image
* Use Fedora CoreOS production download streams (change)
* Use live PXE kernel and initramfs images
* https://getfedora.org/coreos/download/
* Update docs example to use public images (cache is still
recommended at large scale) and stable stream
* Select the most recent fedora-coreos-31 AMI on AWS, instead
of the most recent fedora-coreos-30 AMI (Nov 27, 2019)
* Evaluated with fedora-coreos-31.20200108.2.0-hvm
* Original instructions were to watch install to disk by SSH'ing
via port 2222 following Typhoon v1.10.1. Restore that message,
since the version number in the instruction was incorrectly bumped
on each release
* Typhoon Google Cloud is compatible with `terraform-provider-google`
v3.x releases
* No v3.x specific features are used, so v2.19+ provider versions are
still allowed, to ease migrations
* Inlining the Kubelet service removed the need for the
kubelet.env file declared in Ignition. However, on some
platforms, this removed the guarantee that /etc/kubernetes
exists. Bare-Metal and DigitalOcean distribute the kubelet
kubeconfig through Terraform file provisioner (scp) and
place it in (now missing) /etc/kubernetes
* https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/pull/606
* Fix bare-metal and DigitalOcean Ignition to ensure the
desired directory exists following first boot from disk
* Cloud platforms with worker pools distribute the kubeconfig
through Ignition user data (no impact or need)
* Change node-exporter DaemonSet tolerations from tolerating
all possible NoSchedule taints to tolerating the master taint
and the not ready taint (we'd like metrics regardless)
* Users who add custom node taints must add their custom taints
to the addon node-exporter DaemonSet. As an addon, its expected
users copy and manipulate manifests out-of-band in their own
systems
* Configure kube-proxy --metrics-bind-address=0.0.0.0 (default
127.0.0.1) to serve metrics on 0.0.0.0:10249
* Add firewall rules to allow Prometheus (resides on a worker) to
scrape kube-proxy service endpoints on controllers or workers
* Add a clusterIP: None service for kube-proxy endpoint discovery
* Change kubelet.service on Container Linux nodes to ExecStart Kubelet
inline to replace the use of the host OS kubelet-wrapper script
* Express rkt run flags and volume mounts in a clear, uniform way to
make the Kubelet service easier to audit, manage, and understand
* Eliminate reliance on a Container Linux kubelet-wrapper script
* Typhoon for Fedora CoreOS developed a kubelet.service that similarly
uses an inline ExecStart (except with podman instead of rkt) and a
more minimal set of volume mounts. Adopt the volume improvements:
* Change Kubelet /etc/kubernetes volume to read-only
* Change Kubelet /etc/resolv.conf volume to read-only
* Remove unneeded /var/lib/cni volume mount
Background:
* kubelet-wrapper was added in CoreOS around the time of Kubernetes v1.0
to simplify running a CoreOS-built hyperkube ACI image via rkt-fly. The
script defaults are no longer ideal (e.g. rkt's notion of trust dates
back to quay.io ACI image serving and signing, which informed the OCI
standard images we use today, though they still lack rkt's signing ideas).
* Shipping kubelet-wrapper was regretted at CoreOS, but remains in the
distro for compatibility. The script is not updated to track hyperkube
changes, but it is stable and kubelet.env overrides bridge most gaps
* Typhoon Container Linux nodes have used kubelet-wrapper to rkt/rkt-fly
run the Kubelet via the official k8s.gcr.io hyperkube image using overrides
(new image registry, new image format, restart handling, new mounts, new
entrypoint in v1.17).
* Observation: Most of what it takes to run a Kubelet container is defined
in Typhoon, not in kubelet-wrapper. The wrapper's value is now undermined
by having to workaround its dated defaults. Typhoon may be better served
defining Kubelet.service explicitly
* Typhoon for Fedora CoreOS developed a kubelet.service without the use
of a host OS kubelet-wrapper which is both clearer and eliminated some
volume mounts
* Rename Container Linux Config (CLC) files to *.yaml to align
with Fedora CoreOS Config (FCC) files and for syntax highlighting
* Replace common uses of Terraform `element` (which wraps around)
with `list[index]` syntax to surface index errors
