I would like to ask your help , what is the best way to enable cloud-provider aws , I am using kubespray to initate the clusters but always when I got cloud provider to aws is failing so I try to set it up manually after https://cloud-provider-aws.sigs.k8s.io/getting_started/

https://github.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-aws/issues/258

then , I did the following

adding --cloud-provider=external to both static pods of kube-api and the controller
/etc/kubernetes/manifests# grep cloud *
kube-apiserver.yaml:    - --cloud-provider=external
kube-controller-manager.yaml:    - --configure-cloud-routes=false
kube-controller-manager.yaml:    - --cloud-provider=external

adding it to kubelet

kubelet.env:--cloud-provider=external \

applied the manifest , with the image modfied to

**gcr.io/k8s-staging-provider-aws/cloud-controller-manager:v20210510-v1.21.0-alpha.0**

to be sure I rebooted although not required I have always the
