### Bug or Regression

- Avoid caching the Azure VMSS instances whose network profile is nil ([#100948](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100948), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

        values every time they are called (for a given variable shape). For
        unseeded initializers (`seed=None`), a random seed will be created and
        assigned at initializer creation (different initializer instances get
        different seeds).
    *   An unseeded initializer will raise a warning if it is reused (called)
        multiple times. This is because it would produce the same values each

    * If you depended on that previous behavior, you might need to update your code. As always, make sure your tests pass before merging the upgrade.
