A Brief History of AUTHORS files
---
The AUTHORS file was a pattern developed at Google, originally for
Chromium, then adopted by Go and a bunch of other projects. The problem
was that Chromium originally had a copyright line only recognizing
Google as the copyright holder. Because Google (and most open source
projects) do not require copyright assignemnt for contributions, each
contributor maintains their copyright. Some large corporate contributors
then tried to add their own name to the copyright line in the LICENSE
file or in file headers. This quickly becomes unwieldy, and puts a
tremendous burden on anyone building on top of Chromium, since the
license requires that they keep all copyright lines intact.
The compromise was to create an AUTHORS file that would list all of the
copyright holders. The LICENSE file and source file headers would then
include that list by reference, listing the copyright holder as "The
Chromium Authors".
This also become cumbersome to simply keep the file up to date with a
high rate of new contributors. Plus it's not always obvious who the
copyright holder is. Sometimes it is the individual making the
contribution, but many times it may be their employer. There is no way
for the proejct maintainer to know.
Eventually, Google changed their policy to no longer recommend trying to
keep the AUTHORS file up to date proactively, and instead to only add to
it when requested: https://opensource.google/docs/releasing/authors.
They are also clear that:
> Adding contributors to the AUTHORS file is entirely within the
> project's discretion and has no implications for copyright ownership.
It was primarily added to appease a small number of large contributors
that insisted that they be recognized as copyright holders (which was
entirely their right to do). But it's not truly necessary, and not even
the most accurate way of identifying contributors and/or copyright
holders.
In practice, we've never added anyone to our AUTHORS file. It only lists
Tailscale, so it's not really serving any purpose. It also causes
confusion because Tailscalars put the "Tailscale Inc & AUTHORS" header
in other open source repos which don't actually have an AUTHORS file, so
it's ambiguous what that means.
Instead, we just acknowledge that the contributors to Tailscale (whoever
they are) are copyright holders for their individual contributions. We
also have the benefit of using the DCO (developercertificate.org) which
provides some additional certification of their right to make the
contribution.
The source file changes were purely mechanical with:
git ls-files | xargs sed -i -e 's/\(Tailscale Inc &\) AUTHORS/\1 contributors/g'

This commit contains the implementation of multi-tailnet support within the Kubernetes Operator
Each of our custom resources now expose the `spec.tailnet` field. This field is a string that must match the name of an existing `Tailnet` resource. A `Tailnet` resource looks like this:
```yaml
apiVersion: tailscale.com/v1alpha1
kind: Tailnet
metadata:
name: example # This is the name that must be referenced by other resources
spec:
credentials:
secretName: example-oauth
```
Each `Tailnet` references a `Secret` resource that contains a set of oauth credentials. This secret must be created in the same namespace as the operator:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: example-oauth # This is the name that's referenced by the Tailnet resource.
namespace: tailscale
stringData:
client_id: "client-id"
client_secret: "client-secret"
```
When created, the operator performs a basic check that the oauth client has access to all required scopes. This is done using read actions on devices, keys & services. While this doesn't capture a missing "write" permission, it catches completely missing permissions. Once this check passes, the `Tailnet` moves into a ready state and can be referenced. Attempting to use a `Tailnet` in a non-ready state will stall the deployment of `Connector`s, `ProxyGroup`s and `Recorder`s until the `Tailnet` becomes ready.
The `spec.tailnet` field informs the operator that a `Connector`, `ProxyGroup`, or `Recorder` must be given an auth key generated using the specified oauth client. For backwards compatibility, the set of credentials the operator is configured with are considered the default. That is, where `spec.tailnet` is not set, the resource will be deployed in the same tailnet as the operator.
Updates https://github.com/tailscale/corp/issues/34561
This commit adds a `replicas` field to the `Connector` custom resource that
allows users to specify the number of desired replicas deployed for their
connectors.
This allows users to deploy exit nodes, subnet routers and app connectors
in a highly available fashion.

This commit modifies the kubernetes operator to allow for customisation of the tailscale
login url. This provides some data locality for people that want to configure it.
This value is set in the `loginServer` helm value and is propagated down to all resources
managed by the operator. The only exception to this is recorder nodes, where additional
changes are required to support modifying the url.

Every so often, the ProxyGroup and other controllers lose an optimistic locking race
with other controllers that update the objects they create. Stop treating
this as an error event, and instead just log an info level log line for it.

cmd/containerboot,kube/kubetypes,cmd/k8s-operator: detect if Ingress is created in a tailnet that has no HTTPS
This attempts to make Kubernetes Operator L7 Ingress setup failures more explicit:
- the Ingress resource now only advertises HTTPS endpoint via status.ingress.loadBalancer.hostname when/if the proxy has succesfully loaded serve config
- the proxy attempts to catch cases where HTTPS is disabled for the tailnet and logs a warning

* cmd/k8s-operator,k8s-operator,go.mod: optionally create ServiceMonitor
Adds a new spec.metrics.serviceMonitor field to ProxyClass.
If that's set to true (and metrics are enabled), the operator
will create a Prometheus ServiceMonitor for each proxy to which
the ProxyClass applies.
Additionally, create a metrics Service for each proxy that has
metrics enabled.

Adds a new TailscaleProxyReady condition type for use in corev1.Service
conditions.
Also switch our CRDs to use metav1.Condition instead of
ConnectorCondition. The Go structs are seralized identically, but it
updates some descriptions and validation rules. Update k8s
controller-tools and controller-runtime deps to fix the documentation
generation for metav1.Condition so that it excludes comments and
TODOs.
Stop expecting the fake client to populate TypeMeta in tests. See
kubernetes-sigs/controller-runtime#2633 for details of the change.
Finally, make some minor improvements to validation for service hostnames.

* cmd/k8s-operator,k8s-operator: introduce proxy configuration mechanism via ProxyClass custom resource.
ProxyClass custom resource can be used to specify customizations
for the proxy resources created by the operator.
Add a reconciler that validates ProxyClass resources
and sets a Ready condition to True or False with a corresponding reason and message.
This is required because some fields (labels and annotations)
require complex validations that cannot be performed at custom resource apply time.
Reconcilers that use the ProxyClass to configure proxy resources are expected to
verify that the ProxyClass is Ready and not proceed with resource creation
if configuration from a ProxyClass that is not yet Ready is required.
If a tailscale ingress/egress Service is annotated with a tailscale.com/proxy-class annotation, look up the corresponding ProxyClass and, if it is Ready, apply the configuration from the ProxyClass to the proxy's StatefulSet.
If a tailscale Ingress has a tailscale.com/proxy-class annotation
and the referenced ProxyClass custom resource is available and Ready,
apply configuration from the ProxyClass to the proxy resources
that will be created for the Ingress.
Add a new .proxyClass field to the Connector spec.
If connector.spec.proxyClass is set to a ProxyClass that is available and Ready,
apply configuration from the ProxyClass to the proxy resources created for the Connector.
Ensure that when Helm chart is packaged, the ProxyClass yaml is added to chart templates. Ensure that static manifest generator adds ProxyClass yaml to operator.yaml. Regenerate operator.yaml

cmd/k8s-operator/deploy/crds,k8s-operator/apis/v1alpha1: allow to define an exit node via Connector CR.
Make it possible to define an exit node to be deployed to a Kubernetes cluster
via Connector Custom resource.
Also changes to Connector API so that one Connector corresponds
to one Tailnet node that can be either a subnet router or an exit
node or both.
The Kubernetes operator parses Connector custom resource and,
if .spec.isExitNode is set, configures that Tailscale node deployed
for that connector as an exit node.

* k8s-operator,cmd/k8s-operator,Makefile,scripts,.github/workflows: add Connector kube CRD.
Connector CRD allows users to configure the Tailscale Kubernetes operator
to deploy a subnet router to expose cluster CIDRs or
other CIDRs available from within the cluster
to their tailnet.
Also adds various CRD related machinery to
generate CRD YAML, deep copy implementations etc.
Engineers will now have to run
'make kube-generate-all` after changing kube files
to ensure that all generated files are up to date.
* cmd/k8s-operator,k8s-operator: reconcile Connector resources
Reconcile Connector resources, create/delete subnetrouter resources in response to changes to Connector(s).
Connector reconciler will not be started unless
ENABLE_CONNECTOR env var is set to true.
This means that users who don't want to use the alpha
Connector custom resource don't have to install the Connector
CRD to their cluster.
For users who do want to use it the flow is:
- install the CRD
- install the operator (via Helm chart or using static manifests).
For Helm users set .values.enableConnector to true, for static
manifest users, set ENABLE_CONNECTOR to true in the static manifest.
