### API Change

- The in-tree cloud provider for Azure has now been removed. Please use the external cloud provider and CSI driver from https://github.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-azure instead. ([#122857](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122857), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19))
