strict parser is case-insensitive

[errordeveloper]

We have enabled strict parsing to detect unknown keys, e.g.:

[✖]  loading config file "test.yaml": error unmarshaling JSON: while decoding JSON: json: unknown field "subnetz"

or:

[✖]  loading config file "test.yaml": error unmarshaling JSON: while decoding JSON: json: unknown field "nodeGroup"

But it appears that strict parser doesn't detect keys that had been misspelled by mix-case.

For example: Subnets are sUbnetS, or NodeGroups and nodegroups, don't result in parser error.

This looks like a bug in the parser, we should look into what causes it, and of course file a generic issue. We use sigs.k8s.io/yaml for this.

I'm not sure if we want to use it I tried it and gopkg.in/yaml.v2 is case sensitive.

I submited an issue https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/yaml/issues/15

Interesting. Could you share a test case with gopkg.in/yaml.v2? there is also gopkg.in/yaml.v3, which we should try (see https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/yaml/issues/17 & https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/yaml/issues/18).

https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/yaml/pull/19 is a potential fix, it actually seems to move along... maybe a good idea to try the patch?
