|FILE_MOUNTED_CERTS|completely disable CA path, exclusively use certs mounted into the pod with set certificate file locations|
|CREDENTIAL_FETCHER_TYPE|allows using custom credential fetcher, for VMs with existing identity|
|CREDENTIAL_IDENTITY_PROVIDER|just used to control the audience for VMs with existing identity|
|PROXY_XDS_VIA_AGENT|use istio-agent to proxy XDS. True for all use cases now, likely can be always-on now or soon|

  // and because it's a common pattern for VMs to have differences between supported and

- Continue with the backup job creation.  On the Summary screen, check the Run the Job when I click Finish checkbox and click the Finish button. The backup job will start immediately.  This will create an Active Full backup of the VMs within the backup job.

- Since we selected Copy mode when creating the SOBR, the backup will be copied to the capacity tier as soon as it is created on the performance tier.

* Bump GCE ContainerVM
  * to container-vm-v20161208 ([release notes](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/containers/container_vms#changelog)) ([#38432](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/38432), [@timstclair](https://github.com/timstclair))

Besides the above new features, support for Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) and Cluster-Autoscaler is now stable and considered GA:

- Azure virtual machine scale sets (VMSS) allow you to create and manage identical load balanced VMs that automatically increase or decrease based on demand or a set schedule.

- Fix public IP not shown issues after assigning public IP to Azure VMs ([#90886](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90886), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

* GCE: Fix to make the built-in `kubernetes` service properly point to the master's load balancer address in clusters that use multiple master VMs. ([#63696](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63696), [@grosskur](https://github.com/grosskur))

* switch to VM Update call in attach/detach disk operation, original CreateOrUpdate call may lead to orphaned VMs or blocked resources ([#81208](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81208), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
