* 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
