### Action Required

* [kubelet] Allow opting out of automatic cloud provider detection in kubelet. By default kubelet will auto-detect cloud providers ([#28258](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/28258), [@vishh](https://github.com/vishh))

        // to preserve the leading double backslash for UNC paths
