* 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)

* 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

* 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
}
```

* CoreOS Container Linux was deprecated in v1.18.3 (May 2020)
in favor of Fedora CoreOS and Flatcar Linux. CoreOS Container
Linux references were kept to give folks more time to migrate,
but AMIs have now been deleted. Time is up.

* 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`

* Fix race condition for bootstrap-secrets SELinux context on non-bootstrap controllers in multi-controller FCOS clusters
* On first boot from disk on non-bootstrap controllers, adding bootstrap-secrets races with kubelet.service starting, which can cause the secrets assets to have the wrong label until kubelet.service restarts (service, reboot, auto-update)
* This can manifest as `kube-apiserver`, `kube-controller-manager`, and `kube-scheduler` pods crashlooping on spare controllers on first cluster creation
* Mention the first master branch SHA that introduced Terraform
v0.13 forward compatibility
* Link the migration guide on Github until a release is available
and website docs are published
* 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
