* Originally, Kubelet and CAdvisor metrics used a labelmap
relabel to add Kubernetes SD node labels onto timeseries
* With https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/pull/596 that
relabel was dropped since node labels aren't usually that
valuable. `__meta_kubernetes_node_name` was retained but
the field name is empty
* Favor just using Prometheus server-side `instance` in
queries that require some node identifier for aggregation
or debugging
Fix https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/issues/823
* seccomp graduated to GA in Kubernetes v1.19. Support for
seccomp alpha annotations will be removed in v1.22
* Replace seccomp annotations with the GA seccompProfile
field in the PodTemplate securityContext
* Switch profile from `docker/default` to `runtime/default`
(no effective change, since docker is the runtime)
* Verify with docker inspect SecurityOpt. Without the profile,
you'd see `seccomp=unconfined`

* Enable bootstrap token authentication on kube-apiserver
* Generate the bootstrap.kubernetes.io/token Secret that
may be used as a bootstrap token
* Generate a bootstrap kubeconfig (with a bootstrap token)
to be securely distributed to nodes. Each Kubelet will use
the bootstrap kubeconfig to authenticate to kube-apiserver
as `system:bootstrappers` and send a node-unique CSR for
kube-controller-manager to automatically approve to issue
a Kubelet certificate and kubeconfig (expires in 72 hours)
* Add ClusterRoleBinding for bootstrap token subjects
(`system:bootstrappers`) to have the `system:node-bootstrapper`
ClusterRole
* Add ClusterRoleBinding for bootstrap token subjects
(`system:bootstrappers`) to have the csr nodeclient ClusterRole
* Add ClusterRoleBinding for bootstrap token subjects
(`system:bootstrappers`) to have the csr selfnodeclient ClusterRole
* Enable NodeRestriction admission controller to limit the
scope of Node or Pod objects a Kubelet can modify to those of
the node itself
* Ability for a Kubelet to delete its Node object is retained
as preemptible nodes or those in auto-scaling instance groups
need to be able to remove themselves on shutdown. This need
continues to have precedence over any risk of a node deleting
itself maliciously
Security notes:
1. Issued Kubelet certificates authenticate as user `system:node:NAME`
and group `system:nodes` and are limited in their authorization
to perform API operations by Node authorization and NodeRestriction
admission. Previously, a Kubelet's authorization was broader. This
is the primary security motivation.
2. The bootstrap kubeconfig credential has the same sensitivity
as the previous generated TLS client-certificate kubeconfig.
It must be distributed securely to nodes. Its compromise still
allows an attacker to obtain a Kubelet kubeconfig
3. Bootstrapping Kubelet kubeconfig's with a limited lifetime offers
a slight security improvement.
* An attacker who obtains the kubeconfig can likely obtain the
bootstrap kubeconfig as well, to obtain the ability to renew
their access
* A compromised bootstrap kubeconfig could plausibly be handled
by replacing the bootstrap token Secret, distributing the token
to new nodes, and expiration. Whereas a compromised TLS-client
certificate kubeconfig can't be revoked (no CRL). However,
replacing a bootstrap token can be impractical in real cluster
environments, so the limited lifetime is mostly a theoretical
benefit.
* Cluster CSR objects are visible via kubectl which is nice
4. Bootstrapping node-unique Kubelet kubeconfigs means Kubelet
clients have more identity information, which can improve the
utility of audits and future features

* Stop providing example manifests for the Container Linux
Update Operator (CLUO)
* CLUO requires patches to support Kubernetes v1.16+, but the
project and push access is rather unowned
* CLUO hasn't been in active use in our clusters and won't be
relevant beyond Container Linux. Not to say folks can't patch
it and run it on their own. Examples just aren't provided here
