Description

/kind feature

Describe the solution you'd like As discussed in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-aws/pull/2271#discussion_r811789340, some API fields marked as optional are value fields, not pointers, others are pointers. Perhaps this should be unified at some point.
