* Kubelet GracefulNodeShutdown works, but only partially handles
gracefully stopping the Kubelet. The most noticeable drawback
is that Completed Pods are left around
* Use a project like poseidon/scuttle or a similar systemd unit
as a snippet to add drain and/or delete behaviors if desired
* This reverts commit 1786e34f33.

* delete-node.service used to be used to remove nodes from the
cluster on shutdown, but its long since it last worked properly
* If there is still a desire for this concept, it can be added
with a custom snippet and with a better systemd unit
* network.target is a passive unit that's not actually pulled
in by units requiring or wanting it, its only used for shutdown
ordering
> "Services using the network should ... avoid any Wants=network.target or even Requires=network.target"

* Disable Kubelet Graceful Node Shutdown on worker nodes (enabled in
Kubernetes v1.25.0 https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/pull/1222)
* Graceful node shutdown shutdown allows 30s for critical pods to
shutdown and 15s for regular pods to shutdown before releasing the
inhibitor lock to allow the host to shutdown
* Unfortunately, both pods and the node are shutdown at the same
time at the end of the 45s period without further configuration
options. As a result, regular pods and the node are shutdown at the
same time. In practice, enabling this feature leaves Error or Completed
pods in kube-apiserver state until manually cleaned up. This feature
is not ready for general use
* Fix issue where Error/Completed pods are accumulating whenever any
node restarts (or auto-updates), visible in kubectl get pods
* This issue wasn't apparent in initial testing and seems to only
affect non-critical pods (due to critical pods being killed earlier)
But its very apparent on our real clusters

* When podman runs the Kubelet container, logging to journald means
log lines are duplicated in the journal. journalctl -u kubelet shows
Kubelet's logs and the same log messages from podman. Using the
k8s-file driver alleviates this problem
* Fix Kubelet and etcd-member logs to be more readable and reduce
unneccessary Kubelet log volume
* Kubernetes v1.25.0 moved the LocalStorageCapacityIsolationFSQuotaMonitoring
feature from alpha to beta, but it breaks Kubelet updating ConfigMaps in
Pods, as shown by conformance tests
* Kubernetes is rolling LocalStorageCapacityIsolationFSQuotaMonitoring back
to alpha so its not enabled by default, but that will require a release
* Disable the feature gate directly as a workaround for now to make
Kubernetes v1.25.0 usable

* Changes to worker launch configurations start an autoscaling group instance
refresh to replace instances
* Instance refresh creates surge instances, waits for a warm-up period, then
deletes old instances
* Changing worker_type, disk_*, worker_price, worker_target_groups, or Butane
worker_snippets on existing worker nodes will replace instances
* New AMIs or changing `os_stream` will be ignored, to allow Fedora CoreOS or
Flatcar Linux to keep themselves updated
* Previously, new launch configurations were made in the same way, but not
applied to instances unless manually replaced
* Rename launch configuration to use a name_prefix named after the
cluster and worker to improve identifiability
* Shorten AWS autoscaling group name to not include the launch config
id. Years ago this used to be needed to update the ASG but the AWS
provider detects changes to the launch configuration just fine
* Typhoon Fedora CoreOS is already using iptables nf_tables since
F36. The file to pin to legacy iptables was renamed to
/etc/coreos/iptables-legacy.stamp
