kubernetes - Container-VM Image with GPD Volumes fails with "Failed to get GCE Cloud Provider. plugin.host.GetCloudProvider returned <nil> instead"

Question

I currently try to switch from the "Container-Optimized Google Compute Engine Images" (https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/containers/container_vms) to the "Container-VM" Image (https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/containers/vm-image/#overview). In my containers.yaml, I define a volume and a container using the volume.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: workhorse
spec:
  containers:
    - name: postgres
      image: postgres:9.5
      imagePullPolicy: Always
      volumeMounts:
        - name: postgres-storage
          mountPath: /var/lib/postgresql/data
  volumes:
    - name: postgres-storage
      gcePersistentDisk:
        pdName: disk-name
        fsType: ext4

This setup worked fine with the "Container-Optimized Google Compute Engine Images", however fails with the "Container-VM". In the logs, I can see the following error:

May 24 18:33:43 battleship kubelet[629]: E0524 18:33:43.405470 629 gce_util.go:176]
Error getting GCECloudProvider while detaching PD "disk-name":
Failed to get GCE Cloud Provider. plugin.host.GetCloudProvider returned <nil> instead

Thanks in advance for any hint!
