- The e2e suite can be instructed not to wait for pods in kube-system to be ready or for all nodes to be ready by passing `--allowed-not-ready-nodes=-1` when invoking the e2e.test program. This allows callers to run subsets of the e2e suite in scenarios other than perfectly healthy clusters. ([#98781](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98781), [@smarterclayton](...

- Total test spec is now available by `ProgressReporter`, it will be reported before test suite got executed. ([#114417](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114417), [@chendave](https://github.com/chendave))

providers today. This involved auditing the cloud provider APIs for anything that should be deprecated as well as adding changes where necessary. In addition, SIG Cloud Provider has begun exploratory work around having a “cloud provider” e2e test suite which can be used to test common cloud provider functionalities with resources such as nodes and load balancers.

We are also continuing our long running effort to extract all the existing cloud providers that live in k8s.io/kubernetes...
