### SIG-cloud-provider

This is the first Kubernetes release for this SIG! In v1.12, SIG Cloud Provider focused on building the processes and infrastructure to better support existing and new cloud providers. Some of these initiatives (many of which are still in progress) are:

- Reporting E2E conformance test results to TestGrid from every cloud provider (in collaboration with SIG Testing & SIG Release)

- Kubernetes is now built using Go 1.24.4 ([#132222](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132222), [@cpanato](https://github.com/cpanato)) [SIG Release and Testing]
