In 1.12 (kops & kubenetes):
* We default etcd-manager on
* We default to etcd3
* We default to full TLS for etcd (client and peer)
* We stop allowing external access to etcd
a) The current implementation use's a static kubelet which doesn't not conform to the Node authorization mode (i.e. system:nodes:<nodename>)
b) As present the kubeconfig is static and reused across all the masters and nodes
The PR firstly introduces the ability for users to use bootstrap tokens and secondly when enabled ensure the kubelets for the masters as have unique usernames. Note, this PR does not attempt to address the distribution of the bootstrap tokens themselves, that's for cluster admins. One solution for this would be a daemonset on the masters running on hostNetwork and reuse dns-controller to annotated the pods and give as the DNS
Notes:
- the master node do not use bootstrap tokens, instead given they have access to the ca anyhow, we generate certificates for each.
- when bootstrap token is not enabled the behaviour will stay the same; i.e. a kubelet configuration brought down from the store.
- when bootstrap tokens are enabled, the Nodes sit in a timeout loop waiting for the configuration to appear (by third party).
- given the nodeup docker and manifests builders are executed before the kubelet builder, the assumption here is a unit file kicks of a custom container to bootstrap the rest.
- the current firewalls on between the master and nodes are fairly open so no need to open ports between the two
- much of the work was ported from @justinsb PR [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/pull/4134/)
- we add a very presumptuous server and client certificates for use with an authorizer (node-bootstrap-internal.dns_zone)
I do have an additional PR which performs the entire thing. The process being a node_authorizer which runs on the master nodes via a daemonset, the service implements a series of authorizers (i.e. alwaysallow, aws, gce etc). For aws, the process is similar to how vault authorizes nodes [here](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/aws.html). Nodeup no then calls out to the node_authorizer on bootstrap and provisions the kubelet.
Creating the keypair.yaml file if it does not exist.
If the Keypair is not found kops creates a new keyset file. We are
setting the Keyset Task Format to 'Keypair', which denotes that we do
not have a keypair.yaml file.
This commit enables upgrading from kops 1.8 -> 1.9 while upgrading an
existing cluster. Clusters built with kops 1.8 do not have the keypair
file, and these code changes allow the creation of that file.
The current implementation when Etcd TLS was added does not support using calico as the configuration and client certificates are not present. This PR updates the calico manifests and adds the distribution of the client certificate
This enables external admission controller webhooks, api aggregation,
and anything else that relies on the
--proxy-client-cert-file/--proxy-client-key-file apiserver args.
- fixed the various issues highlighted in https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/pull/3125
- changed the docuementation to make more sense
- changed the logic of the UseSecureKubelet to return early
