We use a lot of facts where variables are enough, and format too early,
which prevent reusing the variables in different contexts.
- Moves set_fact variables to the vars directory, remove unnecessary
intermediate variables, and render them at usage sites to only do logic
on native Ansible/Jinja lists.
- Use defaults/ rather than default filters for several variables.
Since a2019c1c2 (Add a JSON schema describing the packages install
structure, 2024-04-25), we use a custom structure to select which
packages should be installed on a particular host OS.
This has proven too rigid in practice, and the query is pretty
complicated.
Replace this by simply using an array of jinja conditions for the
packages, which should be easier to understand for everyone and more
flexible.
Also remove the associated schema and validation which are no longer
needed.
* Simplify docker systemd unit
systemd handles missing unit by ignoring the dependency so we don't need
to template them.
* Remove RHEL 7/CentOS 7 support
- remove ref in kubespray roles
- move CI from centos 7 to 8
- remove docs related to centos7
* Remove container-storage-setup
Only used for RHEL 7 and CentOS 7
Some packages requirements depends on inventory variables
(`kube_proxy_mode` in that case but it could apply to others).
As the case seems pretty rare, instead of adding complexity to pkgs, we
add an escape hatch to use jinja conditions.
That should be revisited if we find ourselves shoehorning lots of logic
in this later on.
Uses the logic introduced in the previous patch to convert all
kubernetes/preinstall/vars/* os specific files to the `pkgs`
dictionary.
Some niceties for devs:
- always validate the `pkgs` variable to catch mistakes in CI.
- ensure that `pkgs` is always sorted. This makes it easier to find the
packages you're looking for.
