That means that any value read in Python from an environment variable will be a `str`, and any conversion to a different type or any validation has to be done in code.

## Pydantic `Settings`

Fortunately, Pydantic provides a great utility to handle these settings coming from environment variables with <a href="https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/concepts/pydantic_settings/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Pydantic: Settings management</a>.

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

### Kubelet Credential Provider Graduates to Beta

Originally released as Alpha in Kubernetes 1.20, the kubelet's support for
[image credential providers](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/kubelet-credential-provider/kubelet-credential-provider/)
has now graduated to Beta.

Well-Known Certificate Authorities
----------------------------------

In these examples we've prearranged which root certificates to trust. But for regular HTTPS on the
Internet this set of trusted root certificates is usually provided by default by the host platform.
Such a set typically includes many root certificates from well-known certificate authorities like
Entrust and Verisign.
