What does this PR do? What is the motivation?
Update the instructions with respect to the changes in AKS certificates once kubelet serving certificate rotation is enabled.
As once this is enabled you do not need to provide any unique kubelet configuration anymore, the Datadog Agent can connect with the default configurations. As the default certificate is no longer self signed and the endpoint supports the IP Address in the Subject Alternative Name (SAN).
This feature is gradually being rolled out to nodes, with 2 regions in June and more in the next few days. So there isn't an exact node image version to point to. Which is why we recommend to check the node labels to validate which configuration to use.
Additionally when upgrading your cluster you will encounter issues when using the old configuration. Which is why those disclaimers and the relative logs are shown.
Minor note: fixed an issue in the old Operator config as it didn't need the
valueFrom
in the config.Can see below for more details:
