Dalton Hubble 9b6113a058 Update Kubernetes from v1.11.3 to v1.12.1
* Mount an empty dir for the controller-manager to work around
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/68973
* Update coreos/pod-checkpointer to strip affinity from
checkpointed pod manifests. Kubernetes v1.12.0-rc.1 introduced
a default affinity that appears on checkpointed manifests; but
it prevented scheduling and checkpointed pods should not have an
affinity, they're run directly by the Kubelet on the local node

# Worker Pools
Typhoon AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud allow additional groups of workers to be defined and joined to a cluster. For example, add worker pools of instances with different types, disk sizes, Container Linux channels, or preemptibility modes.
Internal Terraform Modules:
* `aws/container-linux/kubernetes/workers`
* `aws/fedora-atomic/kubernetes/workers`
* `azure/container-linux/kubernetes/workers`
* `google-cloud/container-linux/kubernetes/workers`
* `google-cloud/fedora-atomic/kubernetes/workers`
## AWS
Create a cluster following the AWS [tutorial](../cl/aws.md#cluster). Define a worker pool using the AWS internal `workers` module.
```tf
module "tempest-worker-pool" {
source = "git::https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon//aws/container-linux/kubernetes/workers?ref=v1.12.1"
providers = {
aws = "aws.default"
}
# AWS
vpc_id = "${module.aws-tempest.vpc_id}"
subnet_ids = "${module.aws-tempest.subnet_ids}"
security_groups = "${module.aws-tempest.worker_security_groups}"
# configuration
name = "tempest-worker-pool"
kubeconfig = "${module.aws-tempest.kubeconfig}"
ssh_authorized_key = "${var.ssh_authorized_key}"
# optional
count = 2
instance_type = "m5.large"
os_image = "coreos-beta"
}
```
Apply the change.
```
terraform apply
```
Verify an auto-scaling group of workers joins the cluster within a few minutes.
### Variables
The AWS internal `workers` module supports a number of [variables](https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/blob/master/aws/container-linux/kubernetes/workers/variables.tf).
