Special notes for your reviewer:
/cc @ialidzhikov

Release note:

The default leader election resource lock of `machine-controller-manager` has been changed from `endpointsleases` to `leases`.
Please make sure, that you had at least `machine-controller-manager@v0.43.0` running before upgrading to `v0.46.0`, so that it has successfully acquired leadership with the hybrid resource lock (`endpointsleases`) at least once.

@acumino Thank you for your contribution.

Thanks for the PR!
IMO we can mark it ready for review - all MCM providers were released with the endpointsleases resource lock.
We could also check whether the RBAC rules for endpoints can be now removed.

There was not any specific RBAC for endpoints for leader election. I am not sure if mcm still need endpoints apart from the use for leader election if not we can drop it else not.

That was the whole point of my comment - to check it :)

I recall some cases when client-go or controller-runtime can try to list endpoints for the kubernetes service in the default namespace. At least we should be able to remove create/patch/update verbs for endpoints from the example RBAC.

I have tested by removing the endpoints rules from the clusterrole, and tested the following MCM scenarios:

• scaling-up machinedeployment
• scaling-down
• rolling update

There were no logs found stating cannot list endpoint or similar, and there were no restarts of MCM.
Hope these are enough @ialidzhikov

Okay, my comment was to adapt the example RBAC and remove the endpoints rule. In #662 we adapted the example RBAC to add rules for leases, I guess now we can remove the rules for endpoints.
