the work on moving internal APIs that the vSphere provider depends upon to staging to guarantee API stability. This work is being done in conjunction with SIG Cloud Provider and includes the creation of a brand new vsphere-csi plugin to replace the current volume functionalities in-tree.

Additional work was also done to implement a vSphere provider for the Cluster API effort lead by SIG Cluster Lifecycle. For the out-of-tree vSphere cloud provider, the SIG largely focused on bug fixes and...

// getClusterMetaInfo gets information of the current cluster and
// returns it.
// This is not a critical function, and it is allowed
// to fail with a ten seconds timeout, returning nil.

- The `apiserver` exposes 4 new metrics that allow to track the status of the Service CIDRs allocations:
      - current number of available IPs per Service CIDR
      - current number of used IPs per Service CIDR
      - total number of allocation per Service CIDR

### Feature

- Kubeadm: generate CA certificates with a start time that is offset 5 minutes in the past relative to the current system time to workaround cases of clock desync.

* Fix AWS device allocator to only use valid device names ([#41455](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41455), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))
* Reverts to looking up the current VM in vSphere using the machine's UUID, either obtained via sysfs or via the `vm-uuid` parameter in the cloud configuration file. ([#40892](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40892), [@robdaemon](https://github.com/robdaemon))

     * <p>Be careful when targeting an older SDK than you are building against (most commonly when
     * building for Android): Ensure that any object you pass implements the interface not just in
     * your current SDK version but also at the oldest version you support. For example, <a
     * href="https://developer.android.com/sdk/api_diff/16/">API Level 16</a> is the first version
