* Collate upstream rules, alerts, and dashboards and tune for use
in Typhoon
* Previously, a well-chosen (but older) set of rules, alerts, and
dashboards were maintained to reflect metric name changes
* Fix minor docs typos and errors
* Allow a transient verison of the six PyPi package, the
docs build system can use the 0.12.0 (0.11.0 broke sync
tools so pinning to 0.10.0 was previously needed)
* Considering the reader of each, the Github README module links
can go to module source code and docs module links can go to the
associated tutorial docs for the platform/OS
* T3 is the next generation general purpose burstable
instance type. Compared with t2.small, the t3.small is
cheaper, has 2 vCPU (instead of 1) and provides 5 Gbps
of pod-to-pod bandwidth (instead of 1 Gbps)
* Provide migration instructions for upgrading terraform-provider-ct
in-place for v1.12.2+ clusters
* Require switching from ~/.terraformrc to the Terraform third-party
plugins directory ~/.terraform.d/plugins/
* Require Container Linux 1688.5.3 or newer
* 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
* 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)
* 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`
* Support bare-metal cached_install=true mode with Flatcar Linux
where assets are fetched from the Matchbox assets cache instead
of from the upstream Flatcar download server
* Skipped in original Flatcar support to keep it simple
https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/pull/209
* Require a terraform-provider-digitalocean plugin version of
1.0 or higher within the same major version (e.g. allow 1.1 but
not 2.0)
* Change requirement from ~> 0.1.2 (which allowed up to but not
including 1.0 release)
* Broaden internal-etcd firewall rule to allow etcd client
traffic (2379) from other controller nodes
* Previously, kube-apiservers were only able to connect to their
node's local etcd peer. While master node outages were tolerated,
reaching a healthy peer took longer than neccessary in some cases
* Reduce time needed to bootstrap a cluster
* Typhoon for Fedora Atomic uses system containers, container
images containing metadata, but built directly from upstream
and published and serve through Quay.io
* https://github.com/poseidon/system-containers
* Adjust firewall rules, security groups, cloud load balancers,
and generated kubeconfig's
* Facilitates some future simplifications and cost reductions
* Bare-Metal users who exposed kube-apiserver on a WAN via their
router or load balancer will need to adjust its configuration.
This is uncommon, most apiserver are on LAN and/or behind VPN
so no routing infrastructure is configured with the port number
* Choose the Container Linux derivative Flatcar Linux on
bare-metal by setting os_channel to flatcar-stable, flatcar-beta
or flatcar-alpha
* As with Container Linux from Red Hat, the version (os_version)
must correspond to the channel being used
* Thank you to @dongsupark from Kinvolk
* Replace os_channel variable with os_image to align naming
across clouds. Users who set this option to stable, beta, or
alpha should now set os_image to coreos-stable, coreos-beta,
or coreos-alpha.
* Default os_image to coreos-stable. This continues to use
the most recent image from the stable channel as always.
* Allow Container Linux derivative Flatcar Linux by setting
os_image to `flatcar-stable`, `flatcar-beta`, `flatcar-alpha`
* Add `worker_price` to allow worker spot instances. Defaults
to empty string for the worker autoscaling group to use regular
on-demand instances.
* Add `spot_price` to internal `workers` module for spot worker
pools
* Note: Unlike GCP `preemptible` workers, spot instances require
you to pick a bid price.
* Allow multi-controller clusters on Google Cloud
* GCP regional network load balancers have a long open
bug in which requests originating from a backend instance
are routed to the instance itself, regardless of whether
the health check passes or not. As a result, only the 0th
controller node registers. We've recommended just using
single master GCP clusters for a while
* https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/67366622
* Workaround issue by switching to a GCP TCP Proxy load
balancer. TCP proxy lb routes traffic to a backend service
(global) of instance group backends. In our case, spread
controllers across 3 zones (all regions have 3+ zones) and
organize them in 3 zonal unmanaged instance groups that
serve as backends. Allows multi-controller cluster creation
* GCP network load balancers only allowed legacy HTTP health
checks so kubelet 10255 was checked as an approximation of
controller health. Replace with TCP apiserver health checks
to detect unhealth or unresponsive apiservers.
* Drawbacks: GCP provision time increases, tailed logs now
timeout (similar tradeoff in AWS), controllers only span 3
zones instead of the exact number in the region
* Workaround in Typhoon has been known and posted for 5 months,
but there still appears to be no better alternative. Its
probably time to support multi-master and accept the downsides
* Change EBS volume type from `standard` ("prior generation)
to `gp2`. Prometheus alerts are tuned for SSDs
* Other platforms have fast enough disks by default
* Calico isn't viable on Digital Ocean because their firewalls
do not support IP-IP protocol. Its not viable to run a cluster
without firewalls just to use Calico.
* Remove the caveat note. Don't allow users to shoot themselves
in the foot
* Fix issue where worker firewall rules didn't apply to
additional workers attached to a GCP cluster using the new
"worker pools" feature (unreleased, #148). Solves host
connection timeouts and pods not being scheduled to attached
worker pools.
* Add `name` field to GCP internal worker module to represent
the unique name of of the worker pool
* Use `cluster_name` field of GCP internal worker module for
passing the name of the cluster to which workers should be
attached
* This reverts commit cce4537487.
* Provider passing to child modules is complex and the behavior
changed between Terraform v0.10 and v0.11. We're continuing to
allow both versions so this change should be reverted. For the
time being, those using our internal Terraform modules will have
to be aware of the minimum version for AWS and GCP providers,
there is no good way to do enforcement.
* Allow groups of workers to be defined and joined to
a cluster (i.e. worker pools)
* Move worker resources into a Terraform submodule
* Output variables needed for passing to worker pools
* Add usage docs for AWS worker pools (advanced)
* Set defaults for internal worker module's count,
machine_type, and os_image
* Allow "pools" of homogeneous workers to be created
using the google-cloud/kubernetes/workers module
* Upcoming releases may begin to use features that require
the `terraform-provider-ct` plugin v0.2.1
* New users should use `terraform-provider-ct` v0.2.1. Existing
users can safely drop-in replace their v0.2.0 plugin with v0.2.1
as well (location referenced in ~/.terraformrc).
* See https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/pull/145
* Stop maintaining Kubernetes Dashboard manifests. Dashboard takes
an unusual approch to security and is often a security weak point.
* Recommendation: Use `kubectl` and avoid using the dashboard. If
you must use the dashboard, explore hardening and consider using an
authenticating proxy rather than the dashboard's auth features
* Add flannel service account and limited RBAC cluster role
* Change DaemonSets to tolerate NoSchedule and NoExecute taints
* Remove deprecated apiserver --etcd-quorum-read flag
* Update Calico from v3.0.1 to v3.0.2
* Add Calico GlobalNetworkSet CRD
* https://github.com/poseidon/terraform-render-bootkube/pull/44
* Add explicit "providers" section to modules for Terraform v0.11.x
* Retain support for Terraform v0.10.4+
* Add migration guide from Terraform v0.10.x to v0.11.x for those managing
existing clusters (action required!)
* Be sure docs and examples list Container Linux versions that
have been patched for Meltdown just in case someone copy-pastes
or sees them as recent versions
* Allow kube-dns to respond to DNS queries with a custom
suffix, instead of the default 'cluster.local'
* Useful when multiple clusters exist on the same local
network and wish to query services on one another
* Container Linux stable and beta now provide Docker 17.09 (instead
of 1.12). Recommend images which provide 17.09.
* Older clusters (with CLUO addon) auto-update node's Container Linux version
and will begin using Docker 17.09.
* Adapt the coreos/prometheus-operator alerting rules for Typhoon,
https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator/tree/master/contrib/kube-prometheus/manifests
* Add controller manager and scheduler shim services to let
prometheus discover them via service endpoints
* Fix several alert rules to use service endpoint discovery
* A few rules still don't do much, but they default to green
* Change controllers ASG to heterogeneous EC2 instances
* Create DNS records for each controller's private IP for etcd
* Change etcd to run on-host, across controllers (etcd-member.service)
* Reduce time to bootstrap a cluster
* Deprecate self-hosted-etcd on the AWS platform
* Change controllers from a managed group to individual instances
* Create discrete DNS records to each controller's private IP for etcd
* Change etcd to run on-host, across controllers (etcd-member.service)
* Reduce time to bootstrap a cluster
* Deprecate self-hosted-etcd on the Google Cloud platform
* Remove performance note that the GCE vs AWS network performance
is not an equal comparison. On both platforms, workers now span the
(availability) zones of a region.
* Testing host-to-host and pod-to-pod network bandwidth between nodes
(now located in different zones) showed no reduction in bandwidth
* Controller preemption is not safe or covered in documentation. Delete
the option, the variable is a holdover from old experiments
* Note, worker_preemeptible is still a great feature that's supported
* Change Google Cloud module to require the `region` variable
* Workers are created in random zones within the given region
* Tolerate Google Cloud zone failures or capacity issues
* If workers are preempted (if enabled), replacement instances can
be drawn from any zone in the region, which should avoid scheduling
issues that were possible before if a single zone aggressively
preempts instances (presumably due to Google Cloud capacity)
* Kubernetes v1.8.2 fixes a memory leak in the v1.8.1 apiserver
* Switch to using the `gcr.io/google_containers/hyperkube` for the
on-host kubelet and shutdown drains
* Update terraform-render-bootkube manifests generation
* Update flannel from v0.8.0 to v0.9.0
* Add `hairpinMode` to flannel CNI config
* Add `--no-negcache` to kube-dns dnsmasq
* Run etcd peers with TLS across controller nodes
* Deprecate self-hosted-etcd on the Digital Ocean platform
* Distribute etcd TLS certificates as part of initial provisioning
* Check the status of etcd by running `systemctl status etcd-member`
