* 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
* In v1.18.3, the `os_stream` variable was added to select
a Fedora CoreOS image stream (stable, testing, next) on
AWS and Google Cloud (which publish official streams)
* Remove `os_image` variable deprecated in v1.18.3. Manually
uploaded images are no longer needed
* DigitalOcean introduced Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) support
to match other clouds and enhance the prior "private networking"
feature. Before, droplet's belonging to different clusters (but
residing in the same region) could reach one another (although
Typhoon firewall rules prohibit this). Now, droplets in a VPC
reside in their own network
* https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/networking/vpc/
* Create droplet instances in a VPC per cluster. This matches the
design of Typhoon AWS, Azure, and GCP.
* Require `terraform-provider-digitalocean` v1.16.0+ (action required)
* Output `vpc_id` for use with an attached DigitalOcean
loadbalancer
* 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
* Fedora CoreOS `kubelet.service` can start before the hostname
is set. Kubelet reads the hostname to determine the node name to
register. If the hostname was read as localhost, Kubelet will
continue trying to register as localhost (problem)
* This race manifests as a node that appears NotReady, the Kubelet
is trying to register as localhost, while the host itself (by then)
has an AWS provided hostname. Restarting kubelet.service is a
manual fix so Kubelet re-reads the hostname
* This race could only be shown on AWS, not on Google Cloud or
Azure despite attempts. Bare-metal and DigitalOcean differ and
use hostname-override (e.g. afterburn) so they're not affected
* Wait for nodes to have a non-localhost hostname in the oneshot
that awaits /etc/resolve.conf. Typhoon has no valid cases for a
node hostname being localhost (not even single-node clusters)

* 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
* Kubelet `--lock-file` and `--exit-on-lock-contention` date
back to usage of bootkube and at one point running Kubelet
in a "self-hosted" style whereby an on-host Kubelet (rkt)
started pods, but then a Kubelet DaemonSet was scheduled
and able to take over (hence self-hosted). `lock-file` and
`exit-on-lock-contention` flags supported this pivot. The
pattern has been out of favor (in bootkube too) for years
because of dueling Kubelet complexity
* Typhoon runs Kubelet as a container via an on-host systemd
unit using podman (Fedora CoreOS) or rkt (Flatcar Linux). In
fact, Typhoon no longer uses bootkube or control plane pivot
(let alone Kubelet pivot) and uses static pods since v1.16.0
* https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/pull/536
* Enable terraform-provider-ct `strict` mode for parsing
Container Linux Configs and snippets
* Fix Container Linux Config systemd unit syntax `enable`
(old) to `enabled`
* Align with Fedora CoreOS which uses strict mode already
* Build Kubelet container images internally and publish
to Quay and Dockerhub (new) as an alternative in case of
registry outage or breach
* Use our infra to provide single and multi-arch (default)
Kublet images for possible future use
* Docs: Show how to use alternative Kubelet images via
snippets and a systemd dropin (builds on #737)
Changes:
* Update docs with changes to Kubelet image building
* If you prefer to trust images built by Quay/Dockerhub,
automated image builds are still available with unique
tags (albeit with some limitations):
* Quay automated builds are tagged `build-{short_sha}`
(limit: only amd64)
* Dockerhub automated builts are tagged `build-{tag}`
and `build-master` (limit: only amd64, no shas)

* Promote DigitalOcean from alpha to beta for Fedora
CoreOS and Flatcar Linux
* Upgrade mkdocs-material and PyPI packages for docs
* Replace docs mentions of Container Linux with Flatcar
Linux and move docs/cl to docs/flatcar-linux
* Deprecate CoreOS Container Linux support. Its still
usable for some time, but start removing docs
