- 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"

SIG-VMware development was primarily focused on fixing bugs for the in-tree cloud provider, starting the development of the external cloud provider and taking ownership of the cluster-api provider for vSphere.

In-tree cloud provider bug fixes and improvements included:
- Adding initial Zones support to the provider using vSphere Tags
- Improving the testing harness for the cloud provider by introducing vcsim for automated testing

- 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]

- Kubelet: The `--azure-container-registry-config` flag has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release, please use `--image-credential-provider-config` and `--image-credential-provider-bin-dir` to setup acr credential provider instead. ([#118596](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118596), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Node]

* 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...
