Dalton Hubble 590d941f50 Switch from upstream hyperkube image to individual images
* Kubernetes plans to stop releasing the hyperkube container image
* Upstream will continue to publish `kube-apiserver`, `kube-controller-manager`,
`kube-scheduler`, and `kube-proxy` container images to `k8s.gcr.io`
* Upstream will publish Kubelet only as a binary for distros to package,
either as a DEB/RPM on traditional distros or a container image on
container-optimized operating systems
* Typhoon will package the upstream Kubelet (checksummed) and its
dependencies as a container image for use on CoreOS Container Linux,
Flatcar Linux, and Fedora CoreOS
* Update the Typhoon container image security policy to list
`quay.io/poseidon/kubelet`as an official distributed artifact

# Operating Systems
Typhoon supports [Container Linux](https://coreos.com/why/), [Flatcar Linux](https://www.flatcar-linux.org/) and [Fedora CoreOS](https://getfedora.org/coreos/) (preview). These operating systems were chosen because they offer:
* Minimalism and focus on clustered operation
* Automated and atomic operating system upgrades
* Declarative and immutable configuration
* Optimization for containerized applications
Together, they diversify Typhoon to support a range of container technologies.
* Container Linux: Gentoo core, rkt-fly, docker
* Fedora CoreOS: rpm-ostree, podman, moby
