### Windows

- Updates docs and guidance on cloud provider InstancesV2 and Zones interface for external cloud providers:

* vSphere: allow SAML token delegation (required for Zones support) ([#78876](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78876), [@dougm](https://github.com/dougm))

- The new `-gce-zones` flag on the `e2e.test` binary instructs tests that check for information about how the cluster interacts with the cloud to limit their queries to the provided zone list. If not specified, the current behavior of asking the cloud provider for all available zones in multi zone clusters is preserved. ([#98787](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98787), [@smarterclayt...

    *   In GCE multizonal clusters, `PersistentVolume` objects will no longer be dynamically provisioned in zones without nodes. ([#52322](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52322),[ @davidz627](https://github.com/davidz627))

* Fix a bug in GCE multizonal clusters where PersistentVolumes were sometimes created in zones without nodes. ([#52322](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52322), [@davidz627](https://github.com/davidz627))

- Fixed bug with leads to Node goes `Not-ready` state when credentials for vCenter stored in a secret and Zones feature is in use. Zone labels setup moved to KCM component, kubelet skips this step during startup in such case. If credentials stored in cloud-provider config file as plaintext current behaviour does not change and no action required. For proper...

* Support shared tag `kubernetes.io/cluster/<clusterid>` ([#41695](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41695), [@justinsb](https://github.com/justinsb))
* Do not consider master instance zones for dynamic volume creation ([#41702](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41702), [@justinsb](https://github.com/justinsb))
