- The in-tree cloud provider for AWS (and the EBS storage plugin) has now been removed. Please use the external cloud provider and CSI driver from https://github.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-aws instead.

- [KCCM] drop filtering nodes for the providerID when syncing load balancers, but have changes to the field trigger a re-sync of load balancers. This should ensure that cloud providers which don't specify providerID, can still use the service controller implementation to provision load balancers. ([#117602](https://github.com/...

* Deprecate auto detecting cloud providers in kubelet. Auto detecting cloud providers go against the initiative for out-of-tree cloud providers as we'll now depend on cAdvisor integrations with cloud providers instead of the core repo.

- Kubelet, when using cloud provider external, initializes temporary the node addresses using the --node-ip flag values if set, until the cloud provider overrides it. ([#121028](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121028), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Node]
