cc - Wanted to ask you if you had any thoughts for/against this issue?
/assign andrewsykim As discussed in our meeting I'll be following up with sig-node to see if we can deprecate this as it's going against what we want for external cloud providers
FYI
Would have been nice to keep this issue open to track progress in the next releases
Indeed, should be kept open. Next task is now targeting v1.9
Thanks I edited the issue description to include the deprecation plan going forward. Open to changes on the deprecation plan if we think it's too aggressive.
Great, I think this is a good timeline. We need to make sure we communicate it very well though can you add this to the draft release notes in kubernetes/features please?
Looks like you beat me to it , gave it a review.
hehe, yes, it at the same time as everything else ;)
Can you create a PR for this soon to get this early into v1.9 please?

i took the liberty to move this along (filed ). Hope that's ok.
Thanks appreciate it. I think there were some discussions in the mailing list thread about v1.9 being too soon.

I think it largely depends on how many users actually take advantage of the auto-detect feature. It's not many from what I've seen but we should follow up and be sure.
Any recent discussion about that? I haven't seen any activity recently but I might just be subject to email overflow. I hope we can get this into v1.9 cc
I didn't follow any discussion related to this topic, but thought this is right move to decouple cloudprovider components from the core system. If I remembered correctly, only cloudproviders for GCE, AWS and Azura depend on the feature, which can be easily override. Any concerns for v1.9?
yep, GCE/AWS/Azure -
Please look at and give your LGTM
Done. Just better document in 1.9 release notes. LGTM
Thank you!
Reopening for the removal of the option in v1.10
please move this to 1.10 milestone
