## Dependencies

### Added
_Nothing has changed._

    *  - vSphere cloud provider (VCP) uses OS hostname and not vSphere Inventory VM Name.
    *    That means, now  VCP can handle cases where user changes VM inventory name.
    * - VCP can handle cases where VM migrates to other ESXi cluster or datacenter or vCenter.
    * The only requirement is the shared storage. VCP needs shared storage on all Node VMs.

- Revert "fix: handle socket file detection on Windows" ([#127100](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127100), [@jsturtevant](https://github.com/jsturtevant)) [SIG Node]

    * plus is placed in a defer call so the locking is effectively
    * nonexistent.  This patch adds an anonymous function call inside
    * the loop to correctly handle acquiring the write lock with deferred
    * unlock to run at that function's completion, following the normal
    * golang lock/deferred-unlock pattern.

* Fix kubelet to correctly umounts mount points for glusterfs when transport endpoint is not connected and nfs when there is a stale file handle ([#58660](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58660), [@humblec](https://github.com/humblec))
* Detach and clear bad disk URI ([#58345](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58345), [@rootfs](https://github.com/rootfs))

   ([#123508](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123508), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert))
- Dynamic Resource Allocation: DRA drivers can now use "structured parameters" to let the scheduler handle claim allocation.
   ([#123516](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123516), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

- Fixed dry-run output in kubectl apply --prune ([#69344](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69344), [@zegl](https://github.com/zegl))
- The kubectl wait command must handle when a watch returns an error vs closing by printing out the error and retrying the watch. ([#69389](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69389), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))
