* 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
* Initial support for Flatcar Linux on Azure used the Flatcar
Linux Azure Marketplace images (e.g. `flatcar-stable`) in
https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/pull/664
* Flatcar Linux Azure Marketplace images have some unresolved
items https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/issues/703
* Until the Marketplace items are resolved, revert to requiring
Flatcar Linux's images be manually uploaded (like GCP and
DigitalOcean)
* Problem: Fedora CoreOS images are manually uploaded to GCP. When a
cluster is created with a stale image, Zincati immediately checks
for the latest stable image, fetches, and reboots. In practice,
this can unfortunately occur exactly during the initial cluster
bootstrap phase.
* Recommended: Upload the latest Fedora CoreOS image regularly
* Mitigation: Allow a failed bootstrap.service run (which won't touch
the done ConditionalPathExists) to be re-run by running `terraforma apply`
again. Add a known issue to CHANGES
* Update docs to show the current Fedora CoreOS stable version to
reduce likelihood users see this issue
Longer term ideas:
* Ideal: Fedora CoreOS publishes a stable channel. Instances will always
boot with the latest image in a channel. The problem disappears since
it works the same way AWS does
* Timer: Consider some timer-based approach to have zincati delay any
system reboots for the first ~30 min of a machine's life. Possibly just
configured on the controller node https://github.com/coreos/zincati/pull/251
* External coordination: For Container Linux, locksmith filled a similar
role and was disabled to allow CLUO to coordinate reboots. By running
atop Kubernetes, it was not possible for the reboot to occur before
cluster bootstrap
* Rely on https://github.com/coreos/zincati/issues/115 to delay the
reboot since bootstrap involves an SSH session
* Use path-based activation of zincati on controllers and set that
path at the end of the bootstrap process

* Remove docs for the `asset_dir` variable and deprecate
it in CHANGES. It will be removed in an upcoming release
* Typhoon v1.17.0 introduced a new mechanism for managing
and distributing generated assets that stopped relying on
writing out to disk. `asset_dir` became optional and
defaulted to being unset / off (recommended)
* Add `worker_node_labels` map from node name to a list of initial
node label strings
* Add `worker_node_taints` map from node name to a list of initial
node taint strings
* Unlike cloud platforms, bare-metal node labels and taints
are defined via a map from node name to list of labels/taints.
Bare-metal clusters may have heterogeneous hardware so per node
labels and taints are accepted
* Only worker node names are allowed. Workloads are not scheduled
on controller nodes so altering their labels/taints isn't suitable
```
module "mercury" {
...
worker_node_labels = {
"node2" = ["role=special"]
}
worker_node_taints = {
"node2" = ["role=special:NoSchedule"]
}
}
```

* 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
