* Node's providerID is following Azure resource ID format now when useInstanceMetadata is enabled ([#59539](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59539), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

([#84462](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84462), [@klueska](https://github.com/klueska)) [SIG Node and Testing]
