* On GCP, kubectl port-forward connections to pods are closed
after a timeout (unlike AWS NLB's or Azure load balancers)
* Increase the GCP apiserver backend service timeout from 1 minute
to 5 minutes to be more similar to AWS/Azure LB behavior
* Add kube-router for pod networking and NetworkPolicy
as an experiment
* Experiments are not documented or supported in any way,
and may be removed without notice. They have known issues
and aren't enabled without special options.
* Example manifests aim to provide a read-only dashboard visible
to any users with network access (i.e. kubectl port-forward, LAN)
* Problem: Grafana always has an admin user, even with the user
management system disabled
* Disable the login form to prevent admin login
* Switch tutorials from using ~/.terraformrc to using the 3rd-party
plugin directory so 3rd-party plugins can be pinned
* Continue to show using terraform-provider-ct v0.2.2. Updating to
a newer version is only safe once all managed clusters are v1.12.2
or higher
* Remove bullet about isolating workloads on workers, its
now common practice and new users will assume it
* List advanced features available in each module
* Fix erroneous Kubernetes version listing for Google Cloud
Fedora Atomic
* Calico Felix has been reporting anonymous usage data about the
version and cluster size, which violates Typhoon's privacy policy
where analytics should be opt-in only
* Add a variable enable_reporting (default: false) to allow opting
in to reporting usage data to Calico (or future components)
* Fix issue where Azure defaults to Deallocate eviction policy,
which required manually restarting deallocated workers
* Require terraform-provider-azurerm v1.19+ to support setting
the eviction_policy
* loop sends an initial query to detect infinite forwarding
loops in configured upstream DNS servers and fast exit with
an error (its a fatal misconfiguration on the network that
will otherwise cause resolvers to consume memory/CPU until
crashing, masking the problem)
* https://github.com/coredns/coredns/tree/master/plugin/loop
* loadbalance randomizes the ordering of A, AAAA, and MX records
in responses to provide round-robin load balancing (as usual,
clients may still cache responses though)
* https://github.com/coredns/coredns/tree/master/plugin/loadbalance
* Kubelet uses a node's hostname as the node name, which isn't
resolvable on DigitalOcean. On DigitalOcean, the node name was
set to the internal IP until #337 switched to instead configuring
kube-apiserver to prefer the InternalIP for communication
* Explicitly configure etcd scrapes to target each controller by
internal IP and port 2381 (replace __address__)
* Prefer InternalIP and ExternalIP over the node's hostname,
to match upstream behavior and kubeadm
* Previously, hostname-override was used to set node names
to internal IP's to work around some cloud providers not
resolving hostnames for instances (e.g. DO droplets)
* Updating the `terraform-provider-ct` plugin is known to produce
a `user_data` diff in all pre-existing clusters. Applying the
diff to pre-existing cluster destroys controller nodes
* Ignore changes to controller `user_data`. Once all managed
clusters use a release containing this change, it is possible
to update the `terraform-provider-ct` plugin (worker `user_data`
will still be modified)
* Changing the module `ref` for an existing cluster and
re-applying is still NOT supported (although this PR
would protect controllers from being destroyed)
* Allowing serving IPv6 applications via Kubernetes Ingress
on Typhoon Google Cloud clusters
* Add `ingress_static_ipv6` output variable for use in AAAA
DNS records
* Improve the workers "round-robin" DNS FQDN that is created
with each cluster by adding AAAA records
* CNAME's resolving to the DigitalOcean `workers_dns` output
can be followed to find a droplet's IPv4 or IPv6 address
* The CNI portmap plugin doesn't support IPv6. Hosting IPv6
apps is possible, but requires editing the nginx-ingress
addon with `hostNetwork: true`
* Heapster can now get nodes (i.e. kubelets) from the apiserver and
source metrics from the Kubelet authenticated API (10250) instead of
the Kubelet HTTP read-only API (10255)
* https://github.com/kubernetes/heapster/blob/master/docs/source-configuration.md
* Use the heapster service account token via Kubelet bearer token
authn/authz.
* Permit Heapster to skip CA verification. The CA cert does not contain
IP SANs and cannot since nodes get random IPs that aren't known upfront.
Heapster obtains the node list from the apiserver, so the risk of
spoofing a node is limited. For the same reason, Prometheus scrapes
must skip CA verification for scraping Kubelet's provided by the apiserver.
* https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/blob/v1.12.1/addons/prometheus/config.yaml#L68
* Create a heapster ClusterRole to work around the default Kubernetes
`system:heapster` ClusterRole lacking the proper GET `nodes/stats`
access. See https://github.com/kubernetes/heapster/issues/1936
