Rancher version: v2.1.5  
k8s version: v1.11.6

Add OpenStack cloud provider to yaml and run “Customize Node Run Command”.

When run kubelet container, got some warning:

```

```

I found some issue about this:

I created [https://github.com/rancher/rke/issues/1109](https://github.com/rancher/rke/issues/1109) to track this, until then it should still work (especially on older versions like 1.11). In-tree cloudprovider is deprecated but not removed.
