Previously the EC2 metadata service was straightforward HTTP, but IMDS
v2 now requires managing a session token (and is more secure for it).
We now use the AWS SDK when retrieving metadata; it automatically
supports IMDS v2.
Distros that use systemd for DHCP often don't have the hostname
correct, due to e.g. the requirement for policy kit.
We don't rely on it being set correctly on other clouds; no real
reason to require it on GCP either!
We don't call klog.InitFlags yet, because that will cause a flag
redefinition error until we get everyone to stop using glog. That
will happen when we update to k8s 1.13.
We modelled our VFS clientset (for API objects backed by a VFS path)
after the "real" clientsets, so now it is relatively easy to add a
second implementation that will be backed by a real clientset.
The snafu here is that we weren't really using namespaces previously.
Namespaces do seem to be the primary RBAC scoping mechanism though, so
we start using them with the real clientset.
The namespace is currently inferred from the cluster name. We map dots
to dashes, because of namespace limitations, which could yield
collisions, but we'll deal with this by simply preventing users from
creating conflicting cluster names - i.e. you simply won't be able to
create a.b.example.com and a-b.example.com
We move everything to the models. We feature-flag it, because we
probably want to change the names etc, and we aren't going to be able to
offer smooth upgrades until that is done.
