kubernetes: vSphere cloud provider broken with controller-manager v1.9.0

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST?:

Uncomment only one, leave it on its own line:

/kind bug

/kind feature

What happened: controller-manager crashes with error client_builder.go:273] ServiceAccount "vSphere-cloud-provider" is invalid: metadata.name: Invalid value: "vSphere-cloud-provider": a DNS-1123 subdomain must consist of lower case alphanumeric characters, '-' or '.', and must start and end with an alphanumeric character (e.g. 'example.com', regex used for validation is '[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?(\.[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?)*')

What you expected to happen: I expected the controller-manager to launch without issue.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): Launch a controller-manager with a cloud-config per VMware documentation.

Anything else we need to know?: Root cause appears to be here. Perhaps lowercasing the ‘S’ will solve this?

Environment:

Kubernetes version (use kubectl version): v1.9.0
Cloud provider or hardware configuration: vsphere
OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): Ubuntu 17.10
Kernel (e.g. uname -a): Linux 4.9.61

This worked for me on a 1.9.2 cluster

cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -

kind: ClusterRole
metadata:
  name: vsphere-cloud-provider
rules:
  - apiGroups: [""]
    resources: ["nodes"]
    verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
