- [aws] Fixed a bug which reduces the number of unnecessary calls to STS in the event of assume role failures in the legacy cloud provider ([#110706](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110706), [@prateekgogia](https://github.com/prateekgogia)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

  stop using `--node-ip`. (In particular, this fixes the problem where people who
  were unnecessarily using `--node-ip` with an external cloud provider in 1.23,
  and then running into problems with 1.24, could not fix the problem by just
  removing the unnecessary `--node-ip` from the kubelet arguments, because

- Fix handling of aws-load-balancer-security-groups annotation. Security-Groups assigned with this annotation are no longer modified by kubernetes which is the expected behaviour of most users. Also no unnecessary Security-Groups are created anymore if this annotation is used.
