- The `generate_groups.sh` and `generate_internal_groups.sh` scripts from the `k8s.io/code-generator` repo are deprecated (but still work) in favor of `kube_codegen.sh` in that same repo.  Projects which use the old scripts are encouraged to look at adopting the new one.

* vSphere Cloud Provider supports VMs provisioned on vSphere v6.5. ([#59519](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59519), [@abrarshivani](https://github.com/abrarshivani))

* Created k8s.gcr.io image repo alias to pull images from the closest regional repo. Replaces gcr.io/google_containers. ([#57824](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57824), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))

* 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), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))

- Moved the CPU Manager static policy option `strict-cpu-reservation` to...

We are also continuing our long running effort to extract all the existing cloud providers that live in k8s.io/kubernetes into their own respective repos. Along with this migration, we are slowly transitioning users to use the cloud-controller-manager for any cloud provider features instead of the kube-controller-manager.
