- Avoid caching the Azure VMSS instances whose network profile is nil ([#100948](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100948), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Azure: Avoid setting cached Sku when updating VMSS and VMSS instances. ([#102005](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102005), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

<p>
On machines where <code>SP</code> and <code>PC</code> are
traditionally aliases for a physical, numbered register,
in the Go assembler the names <code>SP</code> and <code>PC</code>
are still treated specially;
for instance, references to <code>SP</code> require a symbol,
much like <code>FP</code>.
To access the actual hardware register use the true <code>R</code> name.
For example, on the ARM architecture the hardware

  
  ### Exoscale
  - Add support for Exoscale
  
  ### GCE
  - Decrease the number of GCE Read Requests made while deleting nodes
  - Base pricing of custom instances on their instance family type
  - Add pricing information for missing machine types
  - Add pricing information for different GPU types
  - Ignore the new `topology.gke.io/zone` label when comparing groups

- Fix: remove VMSS and VMSS instances from SLB backend pool only when necessary ([#105839](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105839), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19))
- Fix: skip `instance not found` when decoupling VMSSs from LB ([#105666](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105666), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19))

*   Fixed a bug that allowed the horizontal pod autoscaler to allocate more `desiredReplica` objects than `maxReplica` objects in certain instances. ([#53690](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53690),[ @mattjmcnaughton](https://github.com/mattjmcnaughton))

### **AWS**

*   Nodes can now use instance types (such as C5) that use NVMe. ([#56607](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56607), [@justinsb](https://github.com/justinsb))
