* AWS and Google Cloud make use of auto-scaling groups
and managed instance groups, respectively. As such, the
kubeconfig is already held in cloud user-data
* Controller instances are provisioned with a kubeconfig
from user-data. Its redundant to use a Terraform remote
file copy step for the kubeconfig.
* Introduce the ability to support Container Linux Config
"snippets" for controllers and workers on cloud platforms.
This allows end-users to customize hosts by providing Container
Linux configs that are additively merged into the base configs
defined by Typhoon. Config snippets are validated, merged, and
show any errors during `terraform plan`
* Example uses include adding systemd units, network configs,
mounts, files, raid arrays, or other disk provisioning features
provided by Container Linux Configs (using Ignition low-level)
* Requires terraform-provider-ct v0.2.1 plugin
* Template terraform-render-bootkube's multi-line kubeconfig
output using the right indentation
* Add `kubeconfig` variable to google-cloud controllers and
workers Terraform submodules
* Remove `kubeconfig_*` variables from google-cloud controllers
and workers Terraform submodules
* 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
* 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
* 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
* Terraform provider "google" plugin releases leave the disk
device_name as "" by default. Recently the API has started to
set a default name "persistent-disk-0". Plan and apply show
all instance groups need to be recreated to "fix" the name
* Impact: Controller and worker instance groups are deleted
and recreated, deleting data on controllers and bringing
down clusters
* Fix: Explicitly set the disk_name to persistent-disk-0 so
that terraform finds no diff needs to be applied.
