Automatic merge from submit-queue

Coreos kube-up now with less cloud init

This update includes significant refactoring. It moves almost all of the
logic into bash scripts, modeled after the `gci` cluster scripts.

The reason to do this is:
1. Avoid duplicating the saltbase manifests by reusing gci's parsing logic (easier maintenance)
2. Take an incremental step towards sharing more code between gci/trusty/coreos, again for better maintenance
3. Pave the way for making future changes (e.g. improved rkt support, kubelet support) easier to share

The primary differences from the gci scripts are the following:
1. Use of the `/opt/kubernetes` directory over `/home/kubernetes`
2. Support for rkt as a runtime
3. No use of logrotate
4. No use of `/etc/default/`
5. No logic related to noexec mounts or gci-specific firewall-stuff

It will make sense to move 2 over to gci, as well as perhaps a few other small improvements. That will be a separate PR for ease of review.

Ref #29720, this is a part of that because it removes a copy of them.

Fixes #24165

Since this logic largely duplicates logic from the gci folder, it would be nice if someone closely familiar with that gave an OK or made sure I didn't fall into any gotchas related to that, so cc @andyzheng0831

Cluster add-ons

Cluster add-ons are resources like Services and Deployments (with pods) that are shipped with the Kubernetes binaries and are considered an inherent part of the Kubernetes clusters. The add-ons are visible through the API (they can be listed using kubectl), but direct manipulation of these objects through Apiserver is discouraged because the system will bring them back to the original state, in particular:

  • If an add-on is deleted, it will be recreated automatically.
  • If an add-on is updated through Apiserver, it will be reconfigured to the state given by the supplied fields in the initial config.

On the cluster, the add-ons are kept in /etc/kubernetes/addons on the master node, in yaml / json files. The addon manager periodically kubectl applys the contents of this directory. Any legit modification would be reflected on the API objects accordingly. Particularly, rolling-update for deployments is now supported.

Each add-on must specify the following label: kubernetes.io/cluster-service: true. Config files that do not define this label will be ignored. For those resources exist in kube-system namespace but not in /etc/kubernetes/addons, addon manager will attempt to remove them if they are attached with this label. Currently the other usage of kubernetes.io/cluster-service is for kubectl cluster-info command to recognize these cluster services.

The suggested naming for most types of resources is just <basename> (with no version number) because we do not expect the resource name to change. But resources like Pod , ReplicationController and DaemonSet are exceptional. As Pod updates may not change fields other than containers[*].image or spec.activeDeadlineSeconds and may not add or remove containers, it may not be sufficient during a major update. For ReplicationController, most of the modifications would be legit, but the underlying pods would not got re-created automatically. DaemonSet has similar problem as the ReplicationController. In these cases, the suggested naming is <basename>-<version>. When version changes, the system will delete the old one and create the new one (order not guaranteed).

Add-on update procedure

To update add-ons, just update the contents of /etc/kubernetes/addons directory with the desired definition of add-ons. Then the system will take care of:

  • Removing objects from the API server whose manifest was removed.
  • Creating objects from new manifests
  • Updating objects whose fields are legally changed.

Cooperating with Horizontal / Vertical Auto-Scaling

As all cluster add-ons will be reconciled to the original state given by the initial config. In order to make Horizontal / Vertical Auto-scaling functional, the related fields in config should be left unset. More specifically, leave replicas in ReplicationController / Deployment / ReplicaSet unset for Horizontal Scaling, and leave resources for container unset for Vertical Scaling. The periodical update won't include these specs, which will be managed by Horizontal / Vertical Auto-scaler.
