- The in-tree cloud provider for vSphere has been deprecated and removed. Users are advised to utilize the external cloud provider and CSI driver available at https://github.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-vsphere. ([#122937](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122937), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))

- Fixed migration of in-tree vSphere volumes to the CSI driver. ([#122341](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122341), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane)) [SIG Storage]

	// Check if disks are healing on in-case of VMware vsphere deployments.

			healingLogIf(logger.SetReqInfo(ctx, reqInfo), fmt.Errorf("Total drives to be healed %d", drivesHealing))
		}
	}

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Fixes an issue where the vsphere cloud provider will not trust a certificate if:
  - The issuer of the certificate is unknown (x509.UnknownAuthorityError)
  - The requested name does not match the set of authorized names (x509.HostnameError)
