- The `horizontalpodautoscaling` and `clusterrole-aggregation` controllers now assume the `autoscaling/v1` and `rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1` APIs are available. If you disable those APIs and do not want to run those controllers, exclude them by passing `--controllers=-horizontalpodautoscaling` or `--controllers=-clusterrole-aggregation` to `kube-controller-manager`.

- Removed legacy cloud provider integration code and the "service-lb-controller", "cloud-node-lifecycle-controller" and the "node-route-controller" from kube-controller-manager. You can now either set the `--cloud-provider` command line argument to "external", or to the empty string. All other values are invalid.

`IstioOperatorSpec` has pass-through fields to the Helm values.yaml API, but these are additionally validated through
a [schema](../operator/pkg/apis/istio/v1alpha1/values_types.proto).
1. [Controller](#k8s-controller) code. The code comprises the K8s listener, webhook and logic for reconciling the cluster
to an `IstioOperatorSpec` CR.
1. [Manifest creation](#manifest-creation) code. User settings are overlaid on top of the

  name of controllers that can be turned on/off that are passed to the `--controllers`
  flag (e.g., `pod-garbage-collector-controller`). The old names (eg `podgc`) are
