* Fix issue where worker nodes didn't delete themselves on
scale-down or deallocation (e.g. low priority instances).
Lowercase the hostname and delete the Kubernetes node
* Kubelet registers the lowercase hostname as the node name,
but Azure workers get hostname CLUSTER-worker-GENERATED where
the generated identifier may contain uppercase characters
* Add new bird and felix readiness checks
* Read MTU from ConfigMap veth_mtu
* Add RBAC read for serviceaccounts
* Remove invalid description from CRDs
* 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
* 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
* node-exporter exposes metrics to Prometheus about total and
active md devices (e.g. disks in mdadm RAID arrays)
* Add alert that fires when a RAID disk fails or becomes inactive
for another reason
* Switch Ingress from regional network load balancers to global
HTTP/TCP Proxy load balancing
* Reduce cost by ~$19/month per cluster. Google bills the first 5
global and regional forwarding rules separately. Typhoon clusters now
use 3 global and 0 regional forwarding rules.
* Worker pools no longer include an extraneous load balancer. Remove
worker module's `ingress_static_ip` output.
* Add `ingress_static_ipv4` output variable
* Add `worker_instance_group` output to allow custom global load
balancing
* Deprecate `controllers_ipv4_public` module output
* Deprecate `ingress_static_ip` module output. Use `ingress_static_ipv4`
* Both flannel and Calico support host port via `portmap`
* Allows writing NetworkPolicies that reference ingress pods in `from`
or `to`. HostNetwork pods were difficult to write network policy for
since they could circumvent the CNI network to communicate with pods on
the same node.
* Basic monitoring (free) is sufficient for casual console browsing
* Detailed monitoring (paid) is not leveraged for CloudWatch anyway
* Favor Prometheus for cloud-agnostic metrics, aggregation, and alerting
* Simplify clusters to come with a single NLB
* Listen for apiserver traffic on port 6443 and forward
to controllers (with healthy apiserver)
* Listen for ingress traffic on ports 80/443 and forward
to workers (with healthy ingress controller)
* Reduce cost of default clusters by 1 NLB ($18.14/month)
* Keep using CNAME records to the `ingress_dns_name` NLB and
the nginx-ingress addon for Ingress (up to a few million RPS)
* Users with heavy traffic (many million RPS) can create their
own separate NLB(s) for Ingress and use the new output worker
target groups
* Fix issue where additional worker pools come with an
extraneous network load balancer
