How I did it
Install k8s dashboard docker images
Install geneva mds and mdsd and fluentd docker images and tag them as latest, tagging latest will help create container always with the latest version
Install azure-storage-blob and azure-identity, this will help do etcd backup and restore.
Install kubernetes python client packages, this will help read worker and container state, we can send these metric to Geneva.
Remove mdm debian package, will replace it with the mdm docker image
Add k8s master entrance script, this script will be called by rc-local service when system startup. we have some master systemd services in compute-move repo, when VMM service create master VM, VMM will copy all master service files inside VM, the entrance script will setup all services according to the service files.
When the entrance script content changed, the PR build will set include_kubernetes_master=y to help do validation for k8s master related code change. The default value of include_kubernetes_master should be always n for public master branch. We will generate master image from internal master branch

Support reset factory in Sonic OS
[Reset Factory HLD](https://github.com/sonic-net/SONiC/pull/1231)
[Sonic-mgmt tests](https://github.com/sonic-net/sonic-mgmt/pull/7652)
#### How I did it
- Added new script "/usr/bin/reset-factory"
* It generates a new config_db.json files with factory configurations
* It clears system files and logs
* It removes all docker containers on system except database
* It clears non-default users and restores default users password
- Dump the default users info to a new file during build "/etc/sonic/default_users.json"
- Supported new type "Keep-basic" in "config-setup factory"
- Add new conf file for config-setup "/etc/config-setup/config-setup.conf
#### How to verify it
- Run reset-factory script with all types: < none | keep-all-config | only-config | keep-basic >
- Run config-setup factory with parameters < none | keep-basic >
#### Description for the changelog
Support reset factory in Sonic OS

- How to verify it
Run the image compilation. Each component related to the static DNS feature is covered with the unit tests.
Run sonic-mgmt tests. Static DNS feature will be covered with the system tests.

- Why I did it
Since the prod signing tool is vendor specific, and each vendor may have different arguments they would like to use in the script, we would need a way to inject those arguments to the script.

- How to verify it
Build SONiC using your own prod script
- Why I did it
Fix issue with signing tool not running due to being call with the path from the host and not the path it is mounted on inside the docker-slave

Find a new bug on kubelet side. The kubernetes-cni plug-in was removed in #12997, the reason is that the plug-in will be auto installed when install kubeadm, and will report error if we don't remove the install code. But after removal, the version auto installed is different from what we installed before. This will affect the kubelet action in some scenarios we don't find before. Need to install it by another way.
How I did it
Install kubernetes-cni==0.8.7-00 before install kubeadm
How to verify it
Flannel binary will be installed under /opt/cni/bin/ folder
- Why I did it
Add Secure Boot support to SONiC OS.
Secure Boot (SB) is a verification mechanism for ensuring that code launched by a computer's UEFI firmware is trusted. It is designed to protect a system against malicious code being loaded and executed early in the boot process before the operating system has been loaded.
- How I did it
Added a signing process to sign the following components:
shim, grub, Linux kernel, and kernel modules when doing the build, and when feature is enabled in build time according to the HLD explanations (the feature is disabled by default).
- How to verify it
There are self-verifications of each boot component when building the image, in addition, there is an existing end-to-end test in sonic-mgmt repo that checks that the boot succeeds when loading a secure system (details below).
How to build a sonic image with secure boot feature: (more description in HLD)
Required to use the following build flags from rules/config:
SECURE_UPGRADE_MODE="dev"
SECURE_UPGRADE_DEV_SIGNING_KEY="/path/to/private/key.pem"
SECURE_UPGRADE_DEV_SIGNING_CERT="/path/to/cert/key.pem"
After setting those flags should build the sonic-buildimage.
Before installing the image, should prepared the setup (switch device) with the follow:
check that the device support UEFI
stored pub keys in UEFI DB
enabled Secure Boot flag in UEFI
How to run a test that verify the Secure Boot flow:
The existing test "test_upgrade_path" under "sonic-mgmt/tests/upgrade_path/test_upgrade_path", is enough to validate proper boot
You need to specify the following arguments:
Base_image_list your_secure_image
Taget_image_list your_second_secure_image
Upgrade_type cold
And run the test, basically the test will install the base image given in the parameter and then upgrade to target image by doing cold reboot and validates all the services are up and working correctly

fixes#12907
When the management interface IP address configuration changes from dynamic to static the DNS configuration (retrieved from the DHCP server) in /etc/resolv.conf remains uncleared. This leads to a DNS configuration pointing to the wrong nameserver. To make the behavior clear DNS configuration received from DHCP should be cleared.
- How I did it
Use resolvconf package for managing DNS configuration. It is capable of tracking the source of DNS configuration and puts the configuration retrieved from the DHCP servers into a separate file. This allows the implementation of DNS configuration cleanup retrieved from DHCP during networking reconfiguration.
- How to verify it
Ensure that the management interface has no static configuration.
Check that /etc/resolv.conf has DNS configuration.
Configure a static IP address on the management interface.
Verify that /etc/resolv.conf has no DNS configuration.
Remove the static IP address from the management interface.
Verify that /etc/resolv.conf has DNS configuration retrieved form DHCP server.

In some cases, dpkg will call dpkg to validate version.
dpkg hook will get stuck in a loop to lock.
How I did it
Use an env variable to skip duplicated lock.
Why I did it
It's possible to speed up some parts of a build using parallel compression/decompression.
This is especially important for build_debian.sh.
How I did it
pigz is a parallel implementation of gzip: https://zlib.net/pigz/
Some programs like docker and mkinitramfs can automatically detect and use it instead of gzip.
For tar we need to select it directly.
To enable this feature you need to set GZ_COMPRESS_PROGRAM=pigz
This feature caches all the deb files during docker build and stores them
into version cache.
It loads the cache file if already exists in the version cache and copies the extracted
deb file from cache file into Debian cache path( /var/cache/apt/archives).
The apt-install always installs the deb file from the cache if exists, this
avoid unnecessary package download from the repo and speeds up the overall build.
The cache file is selected based on the SHA value of version dependency
files.
Why I did it
How I did it
How to verify it
* 03.Version-cache - framework environment settings
It defines and passes the necessary version cache environment variables
to the caching framework.
It adds the utils script for shared cache file access.
It also adds the post-cleanup logic for cleaning the unwanted files from
the docker/image after the version cache creation.
* 04.Version cache - debug framework
Added DBGOPT Make variable to enable the cache framework
scripts in trace mode. This option takes the part name of the script to
enable the particular shell script in trace mode.
Multiple shell script names can also be given.
Eg: make DBGOPT="image|docker"
Added verbose mode to dump the version merge details during
build/dry-run mode.
Eg: scripts/versions_manager.py freeze -v \
'dryrun|cmod=docker-swss|cfile=versions-deb|cname=all|stage=sub|stage=add'
* 05.Version cache - docker dpkg caching support
This feature caches all the deb files during docker build and stores them
into version cache.
It loads the cache file if already exists in the version cache and copies the extracted
deb file from cache file into Debian cache path( /var/cache/apt/archives).
The apt-install always installs the deb file from the cache if exists, this
avoid unnecessary package download from the repo and speeds up the overall build.
The cache file is selected based on the SHA value of version dependency
files.
Why I did it
There were some changes in apt source code in version 2.1.9.
As a result apt used in bullseye (2.2.4) is intolerant to network issues.
This was fixed in 10631550f1 Already fixed version is used in bookworm (2.5.4)
And not yet affected version is used in buster (1.8.2.3)
How I did it
Set Acquire::Retries to 3 for sonic-slave-bullseye, docker-base-bullseye and final Debian image.

* Ported Marvell armhf build on x86 for debian buster to use cross-compilation instead of qemu emulation
Current armhf Sonic build on amd64 host uses qemu emulation. Due to the
nature of the emulation it takes a very long time, about 22-24 hours to
complete the build. The change I did to reduce the building time by
porting Sonic armhf build on amd64 host for Marvell platform for debian
buster to use cross-compilation on arm64 host for armhf target. The
overall Sonic armhf building time using cross-compilation reduced to
about 6 hours.

Refactors the SONiC Installer to support greater flexibility in building for a given architecture and bootloader.
#### Why I did it
Currently the SONiC installer assumes that if a platform is ARM based that it uses the `uboot` bootloader and uses the `grub` bootloader otherwise. This is not a correct assumption to make as ARM is not strictly tied to uboot and x86 is not strictly tied to grub.
#### How I did it
To implement this I introduce the following changes:
* Remove the different arch folders from the `installer/` directory
* Merge the generic components of the ARM and x86 installer into `installer/installer.sh`
* Refactor x86 + grub specific functions into `installer/default_platform.conf`
* Modify installer to call `default_platform.conf` file and also call `platform/[platform]/patform.conf` file as well to override as needed
* Update references to the installer in the `build_image.sh` script
* Add `TARGET_BOOTLOADER` variable that is by default `uboot` for ARM devices and `grub` for x86 unless overridden in `platform/[platform]/rules.mk`
* Update bootloader logic in `build_debian.sh` to be based on `TARGET_BOOTLOADER` instead of `TARGET_ARCH` and to reference the grub package in a generic manner
#### How to verify it
This has been tested on a ARM test platform as well as on Mellanox amd64 switches as well to ensure there was no impact.
#### Description for the changelog
[arm] Refactor installer and build to allow arm builds targeted at grub platforms
#### Link to config_db schema for YANG module changes
N/A
Why I did it
Support to use symbol links in platform folder to reduce the image size.
The current solution is to copy each lazy installation targets (xxx.deb files) to each of the folders in the platform folder. The size will keep growing when more and more packages added in the platform folder. For cisco-8000 as an example, the size will be up to 2G, while most of them are duplicate packages in the platform folder.
How I did it
Create a new folder in platform/common, all the deb packages are copied to the folder, any other folders where use the packages are the symbol links to the common folder.
Why platform.tar?
We have implemented a patch for it, see #10775, but the problem is the the onie use really old unzip version, cannot support the symbol links.
The current solution is similar to the PR 10775, but make the platform folder into a tar package, which can be supported by onie. During the installation, the package.tar will be extracted to the original folder and removed.
#### Why I did it

Manually test with following steps:
1. Change config and restart sshd
2. Connect a ssh with -vvv option to show debug message
3. Get running ssh by command and stop it:

Why I did it
To upgrade SSD firmware in initramfs while rebooting from SONiC to SONiC and during NOS to SONiC migration.
How I did it
New option 'ssd-upgrader-part’ is introduced in grub command line, to indicate the partition and its filesystem type in which the SSD firmware updater is present. ‘ssd-upgrader-part’ syntax is ssd-upgrader-part=<partition>,<filesystem type>. Example: ssd-upgrader-part=/dev/sda8,ext4
A new initramfs script ‘ssd-upgrade’ is included in init-premount and it invokes the SSD firmware updater (ssd-fw-upgrade) present in the partition indicated by the boot option 'ssd-upgrader-part'
How to verify it
In SONiC, the SSD firmware updater is copied to “/host/” directory.
Fast-reboot is to be initiated with the ‘-u’ option ([scripts/fast-reboot] Add option to include ssd-upgrader-part boot option with SONiC partition sonic-utilities#2150)
After reboot, while booting into SONiC the SSD firmware updater will be executed in initramfs.
Why I did it
The image size is too large, when there are multiple lazy packages and multiple platforms. It is not necessary to keep the lazy installation packages in multiple copies.
For cisco image, the image size will reduce from 3.5G to 1.7G.
How I did it
Use symbol links to only keep one package for each of the lazy package.
Make a new folder fsroot/platform/common
Copy the lazy packages into the folder.
When using a package in each of the platform, such as x86_64-grub, x86_64-8800_rp-r0, x86_64-8201_on-r0, etc, only make a symbol link to the package in the common folder.
