excessive re-configurations of cluster LBs with externalTrafficPolicy=Local when node readiness changes (https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/111539). The service controller (in cloud-controller-manager) will avoid resyncing nodes which are transitioning between `Ready` / `NotReady` (only for ETP=Local Services).  The LBs used for these services will solely rely on the health check probe defined by the `healthCheckNodePort` to determine if a particular node is to be used for traffic load balancing....

We are also continuing our long running effort to extract all the existing cloud providers that live in k8s.io/kubernetes into their own respective repos. Along with this migration, we are slowly transitioning users to use the cloud-controller-manager for any cloud provider features instead of the kube-controller-manager.
