Dalton Hubble bbbaf949f9 Fix UDP outbound and clock sync timeouts on Azure workers
* Add "lb" outbound rule for worker TCP _and_ UDP traffic
* Fix Azure worker nodes clock synchronization being inactive
due to timeouts reaching the CoreOS / Flatcar NTP pool
* Fix Azure worker nodes not providing outbount UDP connectivity

Background:

Azure provides VMs outbound connectivity either by having a public
IP or via an SNAT masquerade feature bundled with their virtual
load balancing abstraction (in contrast with, say, a NAT gateway).

Azure worker nodes have only a private IP, but are associated with
the cluster load balancer's backend pool and ingress frontend IP.
Outbound traffic uses SNAT with this frontend IP. A subtle detail
with Azure SNAT seems to be that since both inbound lb_rule's are
TCP only, outbound UDP traffic isn't SNAT'd (highlights the reasons
Azure shouldn't have conflated inbound load balancing with outbound
SNAT concepts). However, adding a separate outbound rule and
disabling outbound SNAT on our ingress lb_rule's we can tell Azure
to continue load balancing as before, and support outbound SNAT for
worker traffic of both the TCP and UDP protocol.

Fixes clock synchronization timeouts:

```
systemd-timesyncd[786]: Timed out waiting for reply from
45.79.36.123:123 (3.flatcar.pool.ntp.org)
```

Azure controller nodes have their own public IP, so controllers (and
etcd) nodes have not had clock synchronization or outbound UDP issues

Typhoon

Typhoon is a minimal and free Kubernetes distribution.

  • Minimal, stable base Kubernetes distribution
  • Declarative infrastructure and configuration
  • Free (freedom and cost) and privacy-respecting
  • Practical for labs, datacenters, and clouds

Typhoon distributes upstream Kubernetes, architectural conventions, and cluster addons, much like a GNU/Linux distribution provides the Linux kernel and userspace components.
