# ADR-0006 - Use of Provider APIs in Gradle

## Status

- ACCEPTED on 2024-06-21

## Context

SIG-VMware development was primarily focused on fixing bugs for the in-tree cloud provider, starting the development of the external cloud provider and taking ownership of the cluster-api provider for vSphere.

In-tree cloud provider bug fixes and improvements included:
- Adding initial Zones support to the provider using vSphere Tags
- Improving the testing harness for the cloud provider by introducing vcsim for automated testing

* vSphere cloud provider: Remove the dependency of login information on worker nodes for vsphere cloud provider. ([#43545](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43545), [@luomiao](https://github.com/luomiao))

        // Verify it's the same instance for all provider instances
        FessUserTimeZoneProcessProvider provider1 = new FessUserTimeZoneProcessProvider();
        FessUserTimeZoneProcessProvider provider2 = new FessUserTimeZoneProcessProvider();

        TimeZone tz1 = provider1.getRequestedTimeZone(requestManager);
        TimeZone tz2 = provider2.getRequestedTimeZone(requestManager);

        assertSame(tz1, tz2);
