* Calico Felix has been reporting anonymous usage data about the
version and cluster size, which violates Typhoon's privacy policy
where analytics should be opt-in only
* Add a variable enable_reporting (default: false) to allow opting
in to reporting usage data to Calico (or future components)
* loop sends an initial query to detect infinite forwarding
loops in configured upstream DNS servers and fast exit with
an error (its a fatal misconfiguration on the network that
will otherwise cause resolvers to consume memory/CPU until
crashing, masking the problem)
* https://github.com/coredns/coredns/tree/master/plugin/loop
* loadbalance randomizes the ordering of A, AAAA, and MX records
in responses to provide round-robin load balancing (as usual,
clients may still cache responses though)
* https://github.com/coredns/coredns/tree/master/plugin/loadbalance
* 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)
* 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
* Run at least two replicas of CoreDNS to better support
rolling updates (previously, kube-dns had a pod nanny)
* On multi-master clusters, set the CoreDNS replica count
to match the number of masters (e.g. a 3-master cluster
previously used replicas:1, now replicas:3)
* Add AntiAffinity preferred rule to favor distributing
CoreDNS pods across controller nodes nodes
* Continue to ensure scheduler and controller-manager run
at least two replicas to support performing kubectl edits
on single-master clusters (no change)
* For multi-master clusters, set scheduler / controller-manager
replica count to the number of masters (e.g. a 3-master cluster
previously used replicas:2, now replicas:3)
* Add new bird and felix readiness checks
* Read MTU from ConfigMap veth_mtu
* Add RBAC read for serviceaccounts
* Remove invalid description from CRDs
* Remove controller_networkds and worker_networkds variables. These
variables were always listed as experimental, unsupported, and excluded
from documentation in anticipation of Container Linux Config snippets
* Use Container Linux Config snippets on bare-metal instead. They
provide safer, more powerful, and more elegant host customization
* Release v1.11.1 erroneously left Fedora Atomic clusters using
the v1.11.0 Kubelet. The rest of the control plane ran v1.11.1
as expected
* Update Kubelet from v1.11.0 to v1.11.1 so Fedora Atomic matches
Container Linux
* Container Linux modules were not affected
* 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
* Raise minimum Terraform version to v0.11.0
* Terraform v0.11.x has been supported since Typhoon v1.9.2
and Terraform v0.10.x was last released in Nov 2017. I'd like
to stop worrying about v0.10.x and remove migration docs as
a later followup
* Migration docs docs/topics/maintenance.md#terraform-v011x
* Observed frequent kube-scheduler and controller-manager
restarts with Calico as the CNI provider. Root cause was
unclear since control plane was functional and tests of
pod to pod network connectivity passed
* Root cause: Calico sets up cali* and tunl* network interfaces
for containers on hosts. NetworkManager tries to manage these
interfaces. It periodically disconnected veth pairs. Logs did
not surface this issue since its not an error per-se, just Calico
and NetworkManager dueling for control. Kubernetes correctly
restarted pods failing health checks and ensured 2 replicas were
running so the control plane functioned mostly normally. Pod to
pod connecitivity was only affected occassionally. Pain to debug.
* Solution: Configure NetworkManager to ignore the Calico ifaces
per Calico's recommendation. Cloud-init writes files after
NetworkManager starts, so a restart is required on first boot. On
subsequent boots, the file is present so no restart is needed
* (containerized) kube-proxy warns that it is unable to
load the ip_vs kernel module despite having the correct
mounts. Atomic uses an xz compressed module and modprobe
in the container was not compiled with compression support
* Workaround issue for now by always loading ip_vs on-host
* https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/60
* Use the upstream bootkube image packaged with the
required metadata to be usable as a system container
under systemd
* Run bootkube with runc so no host level components
use Docker any more. Docker is still the runtime
* Remove bootkube script and old systemd unit
* Change kubelet system image to use --cgroups-per-qos=true
(default) instead of false
* Change kubelet system image to use --enforce-node-allocatable=pods
instead of an empty string
* Fix kubelet port-forward on Google Cloud / Fedora Atomic
* Mount the host's /etc/hosts in kubelet system containers
* Problem: kubelet runc system containers on Atomic were not
mounting the host's /etc/hosts, like rkt-fly does on Container
Linux. `kubectl port-forward` calls socat with localhost. DNS
servers on AWS, DO, and in many bare-metal environments resolve
localhost to the caller as a convenience. Google Cloud notably
does not nor is it required to do so and this surfaced the
missing /etc/hosts in runc kubelet namespaces.
* Enable etcd v3.3 metrics to expose metrics for
scraping by Prometheus
* Use k8s.gcr.io instead of gcr.io/google_containers
* Add flexvolume plugin mount to controller manager
* Update kube-dns from v1.14.8 to v1.14.9
* Mount /opt/cni/bin in kubelet system container so
CNI plugin binaries can be found. Before, flannel
worked because the kubelet falls back to flannel
plugin baked into the hyperkube (undesired)
* Move the CNI bin install location later, since /opt
changes may be lost between ostree rebases
* Use the upstream hyperkube image packaged with the
required metadata to be usable as a system container
under systemd
* Fix port-forward since socat is included
* Several known hacks and broken areas
* Download v1.10 Kubelet from release tarball
* Install flannel CNI binaries to /opt/cni
* Switch SELinux to Permissive
* Disable firewalld service
* port-forward won't work, socat missing
* Terraform v0.11.4 introduced changes to remote-exec
that mean Typhoon bare-metal clusters require multiple
runs of terraform apply to ssh and bootstrap.
* Bare-metal installs PXE boot a live instance to install
to disk and then reboot from disk as controllers/workers.
Terraform remote-exec has no way to "know" to wait until
the reboot has occurred to kickoff Kubernetes bootstrap.
Previously Typhoon created a "debug" user during this
install phase to allow an admin to SSH, but remote-exec
would hang, trying to connect as user "core". Terraform
v0.11.4 changes this behavior so remote-exec fails and
a user must re-run terraform apply until succeeding.
* A new way to "trick" remote-exec into waiting for the
reboot into the disk install is to run SSH on a non-standard
port during the disk install. This retains the ability
for an admin to SSH during install (most distros don't have
this) and fixes the issue so only a single run of terraform
apply is needed.
* https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/pull/17359#issuecomment-376415464
* Use etcd v3.3 --listen-metrics-urls to expose only metrics
data via http://0.0.0.0:2381 on controllers
* Add Prometheus discovery for etcd peers on controller nodes
* Temporarily drop two noisy Prometheus alerts
* Add a node-role.kubernetes.io/controller="true" node label
to controllers so Prometheus service discovery can filter to
services that only run on controllers (i.e. masters)
* Leave node-role.kubernetes.io/master="" untouched as its
a Kubernetes convention
* Remove PersistentVolumeLabel admission controller flag
* Switch Deployments and DaemonSets to apps/v1
* Minor update to pod-checkpointer image version
* 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
* Create separate container-linux-install profiles (and
cached-container-linux-install) for each node in a cluster
* Fix contention bug on bare-metal during `terraform apply`.
With only a global install profile, terraform would create
(or retain) the profile for each cluster and try to delete
it for each cluster being deleted. As a result, in some cases
apply had to be run multiple times before terraform's repr
of constraints was satisfied (profile deleted and recreated)
* Allow Container Linux install properties to vary between
clusters, such as using a different Container Linux channel
or version for different clusters
* 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
* When restarting masters, `etcd-member.service` may fail to lookup peers if
/etc/resolv.conf hasn't been populated yet. Require the wait-for-dns.service.
* Update hyperkube from v1.8.3 to v1.8.4
* Remove flock from bootstrap-apiserver and kube-apiserver
* Remove unused critical-pod annotations in manifests
* Use service accounts for kube-proxy and pod-checkpointer
* Update Calico from v2.6.1 to v2.6.3
* Update flannel from v0.9.0 to v0.9.1
* Remove Calico termination grace period to prevent calico
from getting stuck for extended periods
* https://github.com/poseidon/terraform-render-bootkube/pull/29
* 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
* Without this change, if a cluster doesn't set the controller
or worker networkd lists, an err "element() may not be used
with an empty list" occurs.
* controller_networkds and worker_networks are intended to be
optional and temporary, not required at all
* Accept ordered lists of controller and worker networkd configs
* Do not rely on these variables. They will be replaced with a
cleaner mechanism at a future date
* Mounting NFS exports as volumes from some NFS servers fails because
the kubelet isn't starting rpc-statd as expected. Describing pods
that are stuck creating shows rpc.statd is required for remote locking
* Starting rpc-statd.service resolves the issue and all NFS mounts
seem to be working.
* Recommended approach https://github.com/coreos/bugs/issues/2074
