* This change affects users who use worker pools on AWS, GCP, or
Azure with a Container Linux derivative
* Rename worker pool modules' `count` variable to `worker_count`,
because `count` will be a reserved variable name in Terraform v0.12
* Fix to remove a trailing slash that was erroneously introduced
in the scripting that updated from v1.14.1 to v1.14.2
* Workaround before this fix was to re-run `terraform init`
* Change flannel port from the kernel default 8472 to the
IANA assigned VXLAN port 4789
* Update firewall rules or security groups for VXLAN
* Why now? Calico now offers its own VXLAN backend so
standardizing on the IANA port will simplify config
* https://github.com/coreos/flannel/blob/master/Documentation/backends.md#vxlan
* Add an `enable_aggregation` variable to enable the kube-apiserver
aggregation layer for adding extension apiservers to clusters
* Aggregation is **disabled** by default. Typhoon recommends you not
enable aggregation. Consider whether less invasive ways to achieve your
goals are possible and whether those goals are well-founded
* Enabling aggregation and extension apiservers increases the attack
surface of a cluster and makes extensions a part of the control plane.
Admins must scrutinize and trust any extension apiserver used.
* Passing a v1.14 CNCF conformance test requires aggregation be enabled.
Having an option for aggregation keeps compliance, but retains the
stricter security posture on default clusters
* Add ability to load balance TCP applications (e.g. NodePort)
* Output the network load balancer ARN as `nlb_id`
* Accept a `worker_target_groups` (ARN) list to which worker
instances should be added
* AWS NLBs and target groups don't support UDP
* Add calico-ipam CRDs and RBAC permissions
* Switch IPAM from host-local to calico-ipam
* `calico-ipam` subnets `ippools` (defaults to pod CIDR) into
`ipamblocks` (defaults to /26, but set to /24 in Typhoon)
* `host-local` subnets the pod CIDR based on the node PodCIDR
field (set via kube-controller-manager as /24's)
* Create a custom default IPv4 IPPool to ensure the block size
is kept at /24 to allow 110 pods per node (Kubernetes default)
* Retaining host-local was slightly preferred, but Calico v3.6
is migrating all usage to calico-ipam. The codepath that skipped
calico-ipam for KDD was removed
* https://docs.projectcalico.org/v3.6/release-notes/
* Allow terraform-provider-aws >= v1.13, but < 3.0. No change
to the minimum version, but allow using v2.x.y releases
* Verify compatability with terraform-provider-aws v2.1.0
* Resolve in-addr.arpa and ip6.arpa DNS PTR requests for Kubernetes
service IPs and pod IPs
* Previously, CoreDNS was configured to resolve in-addr.arpa PTR
records for service IPs (but not pod IPs)
* Assign pod priorityClassNames to critical cluster and node
components (higher is higher priority) to inform node out-of-resource
eviction order and scheduler preemption and scheduling order
* Priority Admission Controller has been enabled since Typhoon
v1.11.1
* Fix a regression caused by lowering the Kubelet TLS client
certificate to system:nodes group (#100) since dropping
cluster-admin dropped the Kubelet's ability to delete nodes.
* On clouds where workers can scale down (manual terraform apply,
AWS spot termination, Azure low priority deletion), worker shutdown
runs the delete-node.service to remove a node to prevent NotReady
nodes from accumulating
* Allow Kubelets to delete cluster nodes via system:nodes group. Kubelets
acting with system:node and kubelet-delete ClusterRoles is still an
improvement over acting as cluster-admin
* DNS zones served by AWS Route53 may use AWS's special alias records
(other DNS providers would use a CNAME) to resolve the ingress NLB.
Alias records require the NLB DNS name's DNS zone id (not the cluster
`dns_zone_id`)
* System components that require certificates signed by the cluster
CA can submit a CSR to the apiserver, have an administrator inspect
and approve it, and be issued a certificate
* Configure kube-controller-manager to sign Approved CSR's using the
cluster CA private key
* Admins are responsible for approving or denying CSRs, otherwise,
no certificate is issued. Read the Kubernetes docs carefully and
verify the entity making the request and the authorization level
* https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tls/managing-tls-in-a-cluster
* Use a single admin kubeconfig for initial bootkube bootstrap
and for use by a human admin. Previously, an admin kubeconfig
without a named context was used for bootstrap and direct usage
with KUBECONFIG=path, while one with a named context was used
for `kubectl config use-context` style usage. Confusing.
* Provide the admin kubeconfig via `assets/auth/kubeconfig`,
`assets/auth/CLUSTER-config`, or output `kubeconfig-admin`
* terraform-render-bootkube module deprecated kube_dns_service_ip
output in favor of cluster_dns_service_ip
* Rename k8s_dns_service_ip to cluster_dns_service_ip for
consistency too
* Kubelets can use a lower-privilege TLS client certificate with
Org system:nodes and a binding to the system:node ClusterRole
* Admin kubeconfig's continue to belong to Org system:masters to
provide cluster-admin (available in assets/auth/kubeconfig or as
a Terraform output kubeconfig-admin)
* Remove bare-metal output variable kubeconfig
* Add ServiceAccounts and ClusterRoleBindings for kube-apiserver
and kube-scheduler
* Remove the ClusterRoleBinding for the kube-system default ServiceAccount
* Rename the CA certificate CommonName for consistency with upstream
* 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)
* 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.
* 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
