Now that kubelet has switched to incremental updates, it has complete
information of the pod update type (create, update, sync). This change pipes
this information to pod workers so that they don't have to derive the type
again.
This change instructs kubelet to switch to using the Runtime interface. In order
to do it, the change moves the Prober instantiation to DockerManager.
Note that most of the tests in kubelet_test.go needs to be migrated to
dockertools. For now, we use type assertion to convert the Runtime interface to
DockerManager in most tests.
Currently, API server is not aware of the static pods (manifests from
sources other than the API server, e.g. file and http) at all. This is
inconvenient since users cannot check the static pods through kubectl.
It is also sub-optimal because scheduler is unaware of the resource
consumption by these static pods on the node.
This change syncs the information back to the API server by creating a
mirror pod via API server for each static pod.
- Kubelet creates containers for the static pod, as it would do
normally.
- If a mirror pod gets deleted, Kubelet will re-create one. The
containers are sync'd to the static pods, so they will not be
affected.
- If a static pod gets removed from the source (e.g. manifest file
removed from the directory), the orphaned mirror pod will be deleted.
Note that because events are associated with UID, and the mirror pod has
a different UID than the original static pod, the events will not be
shown for the mirror pod when running `kubectl describe pod
<mirror_pod>`.
