cloud-controller-manager - CrashLoopBackOff

[RizwanaVyoma]

I am using Kops on GCE cluster.

The recent cluster update automatically changed cloud-controller-manager image

Change log:

cloud-controller-manager pod is crashed.

Log message in pod :
flag provided but not defined: -allocate-node-cidrs
Usage of /go-runner:
-also-stdout
useful with log-file, log to standard output as well as the log file
-log-file string
If non-empty, save stdout to this file
-redirect-stderr
treat stderr same as stdout (default true)

on checking the docker image
docker run --rm gcr.io/k8s-staging-cloud-provider-gcp/cloud-controller-manager:master@sha256:b3ac9d2d9cff8d736473ab0297c57dfb1924b50758e5cc75a80bacd9d6568f8a --help

did not list any of the below attributes which are in the cloud-controller-manager deamonset

• args:
  - --allocate-node-cidrs=true
  - --cidr-allocator-type=CloudAllocator
  - --cluster-cidr=************
  - --cluster-name=*************
  - --controllers=*
  - --leader-elect=true
  - --v=2
  - --cloud-provider=gce
  - --use-service-account-credentials=true
  - --cloud-config=/etc/kubernetes/cloud.config

Please let us know how to fix this issue. How to avoid this automatic version updates of images. This new image is breaking the cluster.

I am encountering this issue too with the following initial output pointing to a problem with the cloud-controller-manager as reported by @RizwanaVyoma :

[rifelpet]

Can you try setting this in the cluster spec and run kops update cluster --yes to see if that fixes the issue?

spec:
  cloudControllerManager:
    image: gcr.io/k8s-staging-cloud-provider-gcp/cloud-controller-manager:v32.2.4

[nevdullcode]

@rifelpet Yes, that works. Cluster validation now completes successfully. Thank you!
