+The deployment for Kubernetes 1.30 uses the CSI snapshotter sidecar
+4.x and thus is incompatible with Kubernetes clusters where older
+snapshotter CRDs are installed.
+
+It uses separate pods and service accounts for each sidecar. This is
+not how they would normally be deployed. It gets done this way to test
+that the individual RBAC rules are correct.
+
+The health-monitor-agent is no longer getting deployed because its
+functionality was moved into kubelet in Kubernetes 1.21.
