+The deployment for Kubernetes 1.15 uses CSI 1.0 and thus is
+incompatible with Kubernetes < 1.13.
+
+The sidecars depend on 1.15 API changes for migration and resizing,
+and 1.14 API changes for CSIDriver and CSINode.
+
+In contrast to the normal deployment, this deployment does not use the
+external-attacher sidecar. Instead, it creates a CSIDriver instance
+that tells Kubernetes not to use attach (ControllerPublishVolume) at all.
