Dalton Hubble 1b3a0f6ebc Add experimental Fedora CoreOS arm64 support on AWS
* Add experimental `arch` variable to Fedora CoreOS AWS,
accepting amd64 (default) or arm64 to support native
arm64/aarch64 clusters or mixed/hybrid clusters with
a worker pool of arm64 workers
* Add `daemonset_tolerations` variable to cluster module
(experimental)
* Add `node_taints` variable to workers module
* Requires flannel CNI and experimental Poseidon-built
arm64 Fedora CoreOS AMIs (published to us-east-1, us-east-2,
and us-west-1)

WARN:

* Our AMIs are experimental, may be removed at any time, and
will be removed when Fedora CoreOS publishes official arm64
AMIs. Do NOT use in production

# ARM64
!!! warning
ARM64 support is experimental
Typhoon has experimental support for ARM64 with Fedora CoreOS on AWS. Full clusters can be created with ARM64 controller and worker nodes. Or worker pools of ARM64 nodes can be attached to an AMD64 cluster to create a hybrid/mixed architecture cluster.
!!! note
Currently, CNI networking must be set to flannel.
## AMIs
In lieu of official Fedora CoreOS ARM64 AMIs, Poseidon publishes experimental ARM64 AMIs to a few regions (us-east-1, us-east-2, us-west-1). These AMIs may be **removed** at any time and will be replaced when Fedora CoreOS publishes equivalents.
!!! note
AMIs are only published to a few regions, and AWS availability of ARM instance types varies.
## Cluster
Create a cluster with ARM64 controller and worker nodes. Container workloads must be `arm64` compatible and use `arm64` container images.
```tf
module "gravitas" {
source = "git::https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon//aws/fedora-coreos/kubernetes?ref=v1.19.4"
# AWS
cluster_name = "gravitas"
dns_zone = "aws.example.com"
dns_zone_id = "Z3PAABBCFAKEC0"
# configuration
ssh_authorized_key = "ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nz..."
# optional
arch = "arm64"
networking = "flannel"
worker_count = 2
worker_price = "0.0168"
controller_type = "t4g.small"
worker_type = "t4g.small"
}
```
Verify the cluster has only arm64 (`aarch64`) nodes.
```
$ kubectl get nodes -o wide

```
## Hybrid
Create a hybrid/mixed arch cluster by defining an AWS cluster. Then define a [worker pool](worker-pools.md#aws) with ARM64 workers. Optional taints are added to aid in scheduling.
=== "Cluster (amd64)"
```tf
module "gravitas" {
source = "git::https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon//aws/fedora-coreos/kubernetes?ref=v1.19.4"
# AWS
cluster_name = "gravitas"
dns_zone = "aws.example.com"
dns_zone_id = "Z3PAABBCFAKEC0"
# configuration
ssh_authorized_key = "ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nz..."
# optional
networking = "flannel"
worker_count = 2
worker_price = "0.021"
daemonset_tolerations = ["arch"] # important
}
```
=== "Worker Pool (arm64)"
```tf
module "gravitas-arm64" {
source = "git::https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon//aws/fedora-coreos/kubernetes/workers?ref=v1.19.4"
# AWS
vpc_id = module.gravitas.vpc_id
subnet_ids = module.gravitas.subnet_ids
security_groups = module.gravitas.worker_security_groups
# configuration
name = "gravitas-arm64"
kubeconfig = module.gravitas.kubeconfig
ssh_authorized_key = var.ssh_authorized_key
# optional
arch = "arm64"
instance_type = "t4g.small"
spot_price = "0.0168"
node_taints = ["arch=arm64:NoSchedule"]
}
```
Verify amd64 (x86_64) and arm64 (aarch64) nodes are present.
