Kubernetes Submit Queue ef100b12f6 Merge pull request #52003 from vfreex/mount-lib-modules
Automatic merge from submit-queue (batch tested with PRs 52003, 54559, 54518). If you want to cherry-pick this change to another branch, please follow the instructions <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/cherry-picks.md">here</a>.

Load kernel modules automatically inside a kube-proxy pod

**What this PR does / why we need it**:
This change will mount `/lib/modules` on host to the kube-proxy pod,
so that a kube-proxy pod can load kernel modules by need
or when `modprobe <kmod>` is run inside the pod.

This will be convenient for kube-proxy running in IPVS mode.
Users will don't have to run `modprobe ip_vs` on nodes before starting
a kube-proxy pod.

**Which issue this PR fixes** *(optional, in `fixes #<issue number>(, fixes #<issue_number>, ...)` format, will close that issue when PR gets merged)*: fixes #

**Special notes for your reviewer**:
The kube-proxy IPVS proxier will check if the kernel supports IPVS, or it will fallback to iptables or userspace modes. There is a false negative condition in the check, #51874 addressed that issue.

**Release note**:

```release-note
Load kernel modules automatically inside a kube-proxy pod

Legacy Cluster add-ons

For more information on add-ons see the documentation.

Overview

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.

There are currently two classes of add-ons:

  • Add-ons that will be reconciled.
  • Add-ons that will be created if they don't exist.

More details could be found in addon-manager/README.md.

Cooperating Horizontal / Vertical Auto-Scaling with "reconcile class addons"

"Reconcile" class addons will be periodically 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, leave resources for container unset for Vertical Scaling. The periodic reconcile won't clobbered these fields, hence they could be managed by Horizontal / Vertical Auto-scaler.

Add-on naming

The suggested naming for most of the resources is <basename> (with no version number). Though resources like Pod, ReplicationController and DaemonSet are exceptional. It would be hard to update Pod because many fields in Pod are immutable. For ReplicationController and DaemonSet, in-place update may not trigger the underlying pods to be re-created. You probably need to change their names during update to trigger a complete deletion and creation.
