* Run kube-apiserver as a non-root user (nobody). User
no longer needs to bind low number ports.
* On most platforms, the kube-apiserver load balancer listens
on 6443 and fronts controllers with kube-apiserver pods using
port 6443. Google Cloud TCP proxy load balancers cannot listen
on 6443. However, GCP's load balancer can be made to listen on
443, while kube-apiserver uses 6443 across all platforms.
* Fix a GCP errata item https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/wiki/Errata
* Removal of a Google Cloud cluster often required 2 runs of
`terraform apply` because network resource deletes timeout
after 4m. Raise the network deletion timeout to 6m to
ensure apply only needs to be run once to remove a cluster
* google_compute_backend_services use nested blocks to define
backends (instance groups heterogeneous controllers)
* Use Terraform v0.12.x dynamic blocks so the apiserver backend
service can refer to (up to zone-many) controller instance groups
* Previously, with Terraform v0.11.x, the apiserver backend service
had to list a fixed set of backends to span controller nodes across
zones in multi-controller setups. 3 backends were used because each
GCP region offered at least 3 zones. Single-controller clusters had
the cosmetic ugliness of unused instance groups
* Allow controllers to span more than 3 zones if avilable in a
region (e.g. currently only us-central1, with 4 zones)

* Drop string interpolation in Google Cloud A records
shown in Nginx ingress addon docs
* Retain string interpolation syntax for CNAME records
since Google Cloud DNS expects records to end in "."
(some clouds add it automatically)

continue using the `cgroupfs` driver

* For Flatcar Linux Edge, use the `systemd` driver
* Delay changing README example. Its prominent display

in-place strategy and a move resources strategy
* Describe in-place modifying an existing cluster and providers,
using the Terraform helper to edit syntax, and checking the
plan produces a zero diff

* Azure only allows `eviction_policy` to be set for Low priority VMs.
Supporting Low priority VMs meant when Regular VMs were used, each
`terraform apply` rolled workers, to set eviction_policy to null.
* Terraform v0.12 nullable variables fix the issue and plan does not
produce a diff

* Require digitalocean ~> v1.3 to support Terraform v0.12
* Require ct ~> v0.3.2 to support Terraform v0.12
* 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`
* Introduce "calico" as a `networking` option on Azure and DigitalOcean
using Calico's new VXLAN support (similar to flannel). Flannel remains
the default on these platforms for now.
* Historically, DigitalOcean and Azure only allowed Flannel as the
CNI provider, since those platforms don't support IPIP traffic that
was previously required for Calico.
* Looking forward, its desireable for Calico to become the default
across Typhoon clusters, since it provides NetworkPolicy and a
consistent experience
* No changes to AWS, GCP, or bare-metal where Calico remains the
default CNI provider. On these platforms, IPIP mode will always
be used, since its available and more performant than vxlan
