Since cloud provider is removed from k3s I am trying to use --cloud-provider external flag. It looks like the node is getting tainted as expected. I don’t seem to find any instruction on how to further go and configure external ccm with k3s.

I am trying to integrate with google cloud platform. Has anyone succeeded in doing so?
