- Fixed recursive LIST from watch cache returning object matching key. ([#125584](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125584), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]
- Fixed sample-cli-plugin help text to be consistent and always use `kubectl ns`. ([#125641](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125641), [@nirs](https://github.com/nirs))

- Kubelet could be run with no Azure identity without subscriptionId configured now.
  A sample cloud provider configure is: '{"vmType": "vmss", "useInstanceMetadata": true}'. ([#81500](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81500), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

Cloud providers other than GCE might want to update their deployments or sample yaml files to reuse the role created via add-on.
