* Mark `kubeconfig` and `asset_dist` as `sensitive` to
prevent the Terraform CLI displaying these values, esp.
for CI systems
* In particular, external tools or tfvars style uses (not
recommended) reportedly display all outputs and are improved
by setting sensitive
* For Terraform v0.14, outputs referencing sensitive fields
must also be annotated as sensitive
Closes https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/issues/884
* Allow a snippet with a systemd dropin to set an alternate
image via `ETCD_IMAGE`, for consistency across Fedora CoreOS
and Flatcar Linux
* Drop comments about integrating system containers with
systemd-notify
* CoreOS Container Linux was deprecated in v1.18.3
* Continue transitioning docs and modules from supporting
both CoreOS and Flatcar "variants" of Container Linux to
now supporting Flatcar Linux and equivalents
Action Required: Update the Flatcar Linux modules `source`
to replace `s/container-linux/flatcar-linux`. See docs for
examples
* On cloud platforms, `delete-node.service` tries to delete the
local node (not always possible depending on preemption time)
* Since v1.18.3, kubelet TLS bootstrap generates a kubeconfig
in `/var/lib/kubelet` which should be used with kubectl in
the delete-node oneshot
* Use docker to run the `kubelet.service` container
* Update Kubelet mounts to match Fedora CoreOS
* Remove unused `/etc/ssl/certs` mount (see
https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/pull/810)
* Remove unused `/usr/share/ca-certificates` mount
* Remove `/etc/resolv.conf` mount, Docker default is ok
* Change `delete-node.service` to use docker instead of rkt
and inline ExecStart, as was done on Fedora CoreOS
* Fix permission denied on shutdown `delete-node`, caused
by the kubeconfig mount changing with the introduction of
node TLS bootstrap
Background
* podmand, rkt, and runc daemonless container process runners
provide advantages over the docker daemon for system containers.
Docker requires workarounds for use in systemd units where the
ExecStart must tail logs so systemd can monitor the daemonized
container. https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/6791
* Why switch then? On Flatcar Linux, podman isn't shipped. rkt
works, but isn't developing while container standards continue
to move forward. Typhoon has used runc for the Kubelet runner
before in Fedora Atomic, but its more low-level. So we're left
with Docker, which is less than ideal, but shipped in Flatcar
* Flatcar Linux appears to be shifting system components to
use docker, which does provide some limited guards against
breakages (e.g. Flatcar cannot enable docker live restore)
* Originally, poseidon/terraform-render-bootstrap generated
TLS certificates, manifests, and cluster "assets" written
to local disk (`asset_dir`) during terraform apply cluster
bootstrap
* Typhoon v1.17.0 introduced bootstrapping using only Terraform
state to store cluster assets, to avoid ever writing sensitive
materials to disk and improve automated use-cases. `asset_dir`
was changed to optional and defaulted to "" (no writes)
* Typhoon v1.18.0 deprecated the `asset_dir` variable, removed
docs, and announced it would be deleted in future.
* Add Terraform output `assets_dir` map
* Remove the `asset_dir` variable
Cluster assets are now stored in Terraform state only. For those
who wish to write those assets to local files, this is possible
doing so explicitly.
```
resource local_file "assets" {
for_each = module.yavin.assets_dist
filename = "some-assets/${each.key}"
content = each.value
}
```

* CoreOS Container Linux was deprecated in v1.18.3 (May 2020)
in favor of Fedora CoreOS and Flatcar Linux. CoreOS Container
Linux references were kept to give folks more time to migrate,
but AMIs have now been deleted. Time is up.

* seccomp graduated to GA in Kubernetes v1.19. Support for
seccomp alpha annotations will be removed in v1.22
* Replace seccomp annotations with the GA seccompProfile
field in the PodTemplate securityContext
* Switch profile from `docker/default` to `runtime/default`
(no effective change, since docker is the runtime)
* Verify with docker inspect SecurityOpt. Without the profile,
you'd see `seccomp=unconfined`

* Fix race condition for bootstrap-secrets SELinux context on non-bootstrap controllers in multi-controller FCOS clusters
* On first boot from disk on non-bootstrap controllers, adding bootstrap-secrets races with kubelet.service starting, which can cause the secrets assets to have the wrong label until kubelet.service restarts (service, reboot, auto-update)
* This can manifest as `kube-apiserver`, `kube-controller-manager`, and `kube-scheduler` pods crashlooping on spare controllers on first cluster creation
* Fedora CoreOS now ships systemd-udev's `default.link` while
Flannel relies on being able to pick its own MAC address for
the `flannel.1` link for tunneled traffic to reach cni0 on
the destination side, without being dropped
* This change first appeared in FCOS testing-devel 32.20200624.20.1
and is the behavior going forward in FCOS since it was added
to align FCOS network naming / configs with the rest of Fedora
and address issues related to the default being missing
* Flatcar Linux (and Container Linux) has a specific flannel.link
configuration builtin, so it was not affected
* https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/574#issuecomment-665487296
Note: Typhoon's recommended and default CNI provider is Calico,
unless `networking` is set to flannel directly.
* Set Kubelet cgroup driver to systemd when Flatcar Linux edge
is chosen
Note: Typhoon module status assumes use of the stable variant of
an OS channel/stream. Its possible to use earlier variants and
those are sometimes tested or developed against, but stable is
the recommendation
* Accept experimental CNI `networking` mode "cilium"
* Run Cilium v1.8.0-rc4 with overlay vxlan tunnels and a
minimal set of features. We're interested in:
* IPAM: Divide pod_cidr into /24 subnets per node
* CNI networking pod-to-pod, pod-to-external
* BPF masquerade
* NetworkPolicy as defined by Kubernetes (no L7 Policy)
* Continue using kube-proxy with Cilium probe mode
* Firewall changes:
* Require UDP 8472 for vxlan (Linux kernel default) between nodes
* Optional ICMP echo(8) between nodes for host reachability
(health)
* Optional TCP 4240 between nodes for endpoint reachability (health)
Known Issues:
* Containers with `hostPort` don't listen on all host addresses,
these workloads must use `hostNetwork` for now
https://github.com/cilium/cilium/issues/12116
* Erroneous warning on Fedora CoreOS

Note: This is experimental. It is not listed in docs and may be
changed or removed without a deprecation notice

* Change the Calico VXLAN interface for MTU from 1450 to 1410
* VXLAN on Azure should support MTU 1450. However, there is
history where performance measures have shown that 1410 is
needed to have expected performance. Flatcar Linux has the
same MTU 1410 override and note
* FCOS 31.20200323.3.2 was known to perform fine with 1450, but
now in 31.20200517.3.0 the right value seems to be 1410
* Remove node label `node.kubernetes.io/master` from controller nodes
* Use `node.kubernetes.io/controller` (present since v1.9.5,
[#160](https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/pull/160)) to node select controllers
* Rename controller NoSchedule taint from `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` to
`node-role.kubernetes.io/controller`
* Tolerate the new taint name for workloads that may run on controller nodes
and stop tolerating `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` taint
