* 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
* 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
* 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
* 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!)
* 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
* 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`
