it looks like the k8s provider requires `gke-gcloud-auth-plugin` to be in your `PATH` when working with `gke`.  `gcloud`, however installs this binary in a non-standard location as it's generally the only consumer of the plugin.

Is this documented anywhere?

What if you install the `google-cloud-sdk-gke-gcloud-auth-plugin` package using your package manager instead?

```RUN apt-get install -y google-cloud-sdk-gke-gcloud-auth-plugin```
And that's all we usually need. We don't add it to our `PATH`.
