* Make volume usage metrics available for Cinder ([#62668](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62668), [@zetaab](https://github.com/zetaab))

conjunction with SIG Cloud Provider, is focusing on moving internal APIs that the OpenStack (and other providers) depends upon to staging to guarantee API stability. This work also included abstracting the in-tree Cinder API and refactoring code to the external Cinder provider to remove additional Cinder volume provider code.

Additional work was also done to implement an OpenStack driver for the Cluster API effort lead by SIG Cluster Lifecycle. For the external Cloud-Provider-OpenStack code, the...

- OpenStack Cinder CSI migration is now GA and switched on by default, Cinder CSI driver must be installed on clusters on OpenStack for Cinder volumes to work (has been since v1.21). ([#107462](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107462), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))

- Add a new `vSphere` metric: `cloudprovider_vsphere_vcenter_versions`. Its content shows `vCenter` hostnames with the associated server version.

seccomp defaults, the kubelet uses the `RuntimeDefault` seccomp profile by default, rather than than `Unconfined`. This allows enhancing the default cluster wide workload security of the Kubernetes deployment. Security administrators will now sleep better knowing there is some security by default for the workloads.

  The CSI Migration feature for vSphere Volume also requires minimum vSphere vCenter/ESXi Version to be 7.0u1 and minimum HW Version to be VM version 15.
  

- VSphere releases less than 7.0u2 are not supported for in-tree vSphere volume  as of Kubernetes v1.25. Please consider upgrading vSphere (both ESXi and vCenter)  to 7.0u2 or above. ([#111255](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111255), [@divyenpatel](https://github.com/divyenpatel))
