* 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),...

#### Cloud Provider Support
* [alpha] Improved support for out-of-tree and out-of-process cloud providers, a.k.a pluggable cloud providers. See [Build and Run cloud-controller-manager](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/running-cloud-controller) documentation.


### **Cluster Federation**
#### Placement Policy

* vSphere cloud provider: Remove the dependency of login information on worker nodes for vsphere cloud provider. ([#43545](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43545), [@luomiao](https://github.com/luomiao))
