### Bug or Regression

- Do not fail sorting empty elements. ([#94666](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94666), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG CLI]

    *  - vSphere cloud provider (VCP) uses OS hostname and not vSphere Inventory VM Name.
    *    That means, now  VCP can handle cases where user changes VM inventory name.
    * - VCP can handle cases where VM migrates to other ESXi cluster or datacenter or vCenter.
    * The only requirement is the shared storage. VCP needs shared storage on all Node VMs.

- Use network.Interface.VirtualMachine.ID to get the binded VM
  Skip standalone VM when reconciling LoadBalancer ([#97639](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97639), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
