- Machine `providerID` is now being strictly checked for equality when compared against Kubernetes node `providerID` data. This is the expected criteria for correlating a Cluster API machine to its corresponding Kubernetes node, but historically this comparison was not strict, and instead compared only against the `ID` substring part of the full `providerID` string. Because different providers construct `providerID` strings differently, the `ID` substring is not uniformly defined and implemented across providers, and thus the existing `providerID` equality can not guarantee the correct Machine-Node correlation. It is very unlikely that this new behavior will break existing providers, but FYI: if strict `providerID` equality will degrade expected behaviors, you may need to update your provider implementation prior to adopting Cluster API v1.3.
