- The in-tree cloud provider for AWS (and the EBS storage plugin) has now been removed. Please use the external cloud provider and CSI driver from https://github.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-aws instead.

### SIG Cloud Provider

- Fix: set nil cache entry based on old cache ([#87591](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87591), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

### OpenStack

SIG-OpenStack updated the OpenStack provider to use newer APIs, consolidated community code into one repository, engaged with the Cloud Provider Working Group to have a consistent plan for moving provider code into individual repositories, improved testing of provider code, and strengthened ties with the OpenStack developer community.

### API-machinery

- Azure VMSS/VMSSVM clients now suppress requests on throttling ([#86740](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86740), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Azure cloud provider cache TTL is configurable, list of the azure cloud provider is as following:
  - "availabilitySetNodesCacheTTLInSeconds"
  - "vmssCacheTTLInSeconds"

* Deprecate auto detecting cloud providers in kubelet. Auto detecting cloud providers go against the initiative for out-of-tree cloud providers as we'll now depend on cAdvisor integrations with cloud providers instead of the core repo. In the near future, `--cloud-provider` for kubelet will either be an empty string or `external`.  ([#51312](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51312), [@and...

f1 := apply[[]int]             // type argument for S explicitly provided, type argument for E inferred
f2 := apply[[]string, string]  // both type arguments explicitly provided

var bytes []byte
r := apply(bytes, func(byte) byte { … })  // both type arguments inferred from the function arguments
</pre>

<p>
For a generic type, all type arguments must always be provided explicitly.
