     * IllegalArgumentException here, in part to keep its recommendation simple: Static methods
     * should throw IllegalStateException only when they use static state.
     *
     * Why do we deviate here? The answer: We want for fluentFuture.getDone() to throw the same

## Urgent Upgrade Notes
### (No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)
#### Cluster Lifecycle
- Kubeadm: add a new `kubelet-finalize` phase as part of the `init` workflow and an experimental sub-phase to enable automatic kubelet client certificate rotation on primary control-plane nodes.

		b.WriteString("123456789012345")      // long string, non-empty buffer
		tw.check(t, "abc12345", "6789012345") // use Write and then WriteString since the remaining part is still longer than BufSize
	}

		tw := &teststringwriter{}
		b := NewWriterSize(tw, BufSize)
		b.Write([]byte("abc")) // same as above, but use Write instead of WriteString

- The `system:aws-cloud-provider` cluster role, deprecated in v1.13, is no longer auto-created. Deployments using the AWS cloud provider should grant required permissions to the `aws-cloud-provider` service account in the `kube-system` namespace as part of deployment.
