* Fixes warning about use of deprecated field `key_algorithm` in
the `hashicorp/tls` provider. The key algorithm can now be inferred
directly from the private key so resources don't have to output
and pass around the algorithm
* Add `boot_disk[0].initialize_params` to the ignored fields for the
controller nodes
* Nodes will auto-update, Terraform should not attempt to delete and
recreate nodes (especially controllers!). Lack of this ignore causes
Terraform to propose deleting controller nodes when Flatcar Linux
releases new images
* Matches the configuration on Typhoon Fedora CoreOS (which does not
have the issue)
* Change subnet references to source and destinations prefixes
(plural)
* Remove references to a resource group in some load balancing
components, which no longer require it (inferred)
* Rename `worker_address_prefix` output to `worker_address_prefixes`
* Cilium (v1.8) was added to Typhoon in v1.18.5 in June 2020
and its become more impressive since then. Its currently the
leading CNI provider choice.
* Calico has grown complex, has lots of CRDs, masks its
management complexity with an operator (which we won't use),
doesn't provide multi-arch images, and hasn't been compatible
with Kubernetes v1.23 (with ipvs) for several releases.
* Both have CNCF conformance quirks (flannel used for conformance),
but that's not the main factor in choosing the default
* Use the official Kinvolk Flatcar Linux image on Google Cloud
* Change `os_image` from a custom image name to `flatcar-stable`
(default), `flatcar-beta`, or `flatcar-alpha` (**action required**)
* Change `os_image` from a required to an optional variable
* Promote Typhoon on Flatcar Linux / Google Cloud to stable
* Remove docs about needing to upload a Flatcar Linux image
manually on Google Cloud and drop support for custom images
* Kubelet now uses `containerd` as the container runtime, but
`docker.service` still starts when `docker.sock` is probed bc
the service is socket activated. Prevent this by masking the
`docker.service` unit
* Add `arch` variable to Flatcar Linux AWS `kubernetes` and
`workers` modules. Accept `amd64` (default) or `arm64` to support
native arm64/aarch64 clusters or mixed/hybrid clusters with arm64
workers
* Requires `flannel` or `cilium` CNI
Similar to https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/pull/875
* Migrate from `docker-shim` to `containerd` in preparation
for Kubernetes v1.24.0 dropping `docker-shim` support
* Much consideration was given to the container runtime
choice. https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/issues/899
provides relevant rationales
* Allow Kubernetes Ingress resources to be probed via Blackbox
Exporter (if present) if annotated `prometheus.io/probe: "true"`
* Fix probes of Services via Blackbox Exporter. Require Blackbox
Exporter to be deployed in the same `monitoring` namespace, be
named `blackbox-exporter`, and use port 8080
* Set `prometheus.io/param` on a Kubernetes Service to scrape
the service endpoints and pass a custom query parameter
* For example, scrape Consul with `?format=prometheus`
```yaml
kind: Service
metadata:
annotations:
prometheus.io/scrape: 'true'
prometheus.io/port: '8500'
prometheus.io/path: /v1/agent/metrics
prometheus.io/param: format=prometheus
```
* Terraform v1.1 changed the behavior of provisioners and
`remote-exec` in a way that breaks support for expansions
in commands (including file provisioner, where `destination`
is part of an `scp` command)
* Terraform will likely revert the change eventually, but I
suspect it will take a while
* Instead, we can stop relying on Terraform's expansion
behavior. `/home/core` is a suitable choice for `$HOME` on
both Flatcar Linux and Fedora CoreOS (harldink `/var/home/core`)
Rel: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/30243
* Both Flatcar Linux and Fedora CoreOS use systemd-resolved,
but they setup /etc/resolv.conf symlinks differently
* Prefer using /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf directly, which
also updates to reflect runtime changes (e.g. resolvectl)
* Change `enable_aggregation` default from false to true
* These days, Kubernetes control plane components emit annoying
messages related to assumptions baked into the Kubernetes API
Aggregation Layer if you don't enable it. Further the conformance
tests force you to remember to enable it if you care about passing
those
* This change is motivated by eliminating annoyances, rather than
any enthusiasm for Kubernetes' aggregation features
Rel: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/api-extension/apiserver-aggregation/
* Mount both /etc/ssl/certs and /etc/pki into control plane static
pods and kube-proxy, rather than choosing one based a variable
(set based on Flatcar Linux or Fedora CoreOS)
* Remove deprecated `--port` from `kube-scheduler` static Pod
* Since v1.21.3 switched controllers default disk type from
`gp2` to `gp3`, an iops diff has been shown (harmless, but
annoying)
* Controller nodes default to a 30GB `gp3` disk. `gp3` disks
do respect `iops` and the corresponding default is 3000
* Remove `/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd` mount since Flatcar Linux
uses cgroups v2
* Flatcar Linux's `docker` switched from the `cgroupfs` to
`systemd` driver without notice
* Kubernetes v1.22.0 disabled kube-controller-manager insecure
port, which was used internally for Prometheus metrics scraping
* Configure Prometheus to discover and scrape endpoints for
kube-scheduler and kube-controller-manager via the authenticated
https ports, via bearer token
* Change firewall ports to allow Prometheus (on worker nodes)
to scrape kube-scheduler and kube-controller-manager targets
that run on controller(s) with hostNetwork
* Disable the insecure port on kube-scheduler
* On Fedora CoreOS, Cilium cross-node service IP load balancing
stopped working for a time (first observable as CoreDNS pods
located on worker nodes not being able to reach the kubernetes
API service 10.3.0.1). This turned out to have two parts:
* Fedora CoreOS switched to cgroups v2 by default. In our early
testing with cgroups v2, Calico (default) was used. With the
cgroups v2 change, SELinux policy denied some eBPF operations.
Since fixed in all Fedora CoreOS channels
* Cilium requires new mounts to support cgroups v2, which are
added here
* https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/292
* https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/881
* https://github.com/cilium/cilium/pull/16259
* Fedora CoreOS is beginning to switch from cgroups v1 to
cgroups v2 by default, which changes the sysfs hierarchy
* This will be needed when using a Fedora Coreos OS image
that enables cgroups v2 (`next` stream as of this writing)
Rel: https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/292
* Add `node_taints` variable to worker modules to set custom
initial node taints on cloud platforms that support auto-scaling
worker pools of heterogeneous nodes (i.e. AWS, Azure, GCP)
* Worker pools could use custom `node_labels` to allowed workloads
to select among differentiated nodes, while custom `node_taints`
allows a worker pool's nodes to be tainted as special to prevent
scheduling, except by workloads that explicitly tolerate the
taint
* Expose `daemonset_tolerations` in AWS, Azure, and GCP kubernetes
cluster modules, to determine whether `kube-system` components
should tolerate the custom taint (advanced use covered in docs)
Rel: #550, #663Closes#429
* Flatcar Linux has not published an Edge channel image since
April 2020 and recently removed mention of the channel from
their documentation https://github.com/kinvolk/Flatcar/pull/345
* Users of Flatcar Linux Edge should move to the stable, beta, or
alpha channel, barring any alternate advice from upstream Flatcar
Linux
* Remove Kubelet `/etc/iscsi` and `iscsiadm` host mounts that
were added on bare-metal, since these no longer work on either
Fedora CoreOS or Flatcar Linux with newer `iscsiadm`
* These special mounts on bare-metal date back to #350 which
added them to provide a way to use iSCSI in Kubernetes v1.10
* Today, storage should be handled by external CSI providers
which handle different storage systems, which doesn't rely
on Kubelet storage utils
Close#907
* Generate TLS client certificates for `kube-scheduler` and
`kube-controller-manager` with `system:kube-scheduler` and
`system:kube-controller-manager` CNs
* Template separate kubeconfigs for kube-scheduler and
kube-controller manager (`scheduler.conf` and
`controller-manager.conf`). Rename admin for clarity
* Before v1.16.0, Typhoon scheduled a self-hosted control
plane, which allowed the steady-state kube-scheduler and
kube-controller-manager to use a scoped ServiceAccount.
With a static pod control plane, separate CN TLS client
certificates are the nearest equiv.
* https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/best-practices/certificates/
* Remove unused Kubelet certificate, TLS bootstrap is used
instead
* Allow terraform-provider-ct versions v0.6+ (e.g. v0.7.1)
Before, only v0.6.x point updates were allowed
* Update terraform-provider-ct to v0.7.1 in docs
* READ the docs before updating terraform-provider-ct,
as changing worker user-data is handled differently
by different cloud platforms
* A `aws_ami` data source will fail a Terraform plan
if no matching AMI is found, even if the AMI is not
used. ARM64 images are only published to a few US
regions, so the `aws_ami` data query could fail when
creating Fedora CoreOS AWS clusters in non-US regions
* Condition `aws_ami` on whether experimental arch
`arm64` is chosen
* Recent regression introduced in v1.19.4
https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/pull/875
Closes https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/issues/886
* 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
* NLB subnets assigned both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
* NLB DNS name has both A and AAAA records
* NLB to target node traffic is IPv4 (no change),
no change to security groups needed
* Ingresses exposed through the recommended Nginx
Ingress Controller addon will be accessible via
IPv4 or IPv6. No change is needed to the app's
CNAME to NLB record

* Add experimental `arch` variable to Fedora CoreOS AWS,
accepting amd64 (default) or arm64 to support native
arm64/aarch64 clusters or mixed/hybrid clusters with
a worker pool of arm64 workers
* Add `daemonset_tolerations` variable to cluster module
(experimental)
* Add `node_taints` variable to workers module
* Requires flannel CNI and experimental Poseidon-built
arm64 Fedora CoreOS AMIs (published to us-east-1, us-east-2,
and us-west-1)
WARN:
* Our AMIs are experimental, may be removed at any time, and
will be removed when Fedora CoreOS publishes official arm64
AMIs. Do NOT use in production
Related:
* https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/pull/682
* 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
}
```
