 The external-provisioner is a sidecar container that dynamically provisions volumes by calling `ControllerCreateVolume` and `ControlerDeleteVolume` functions of CSI drivers. It is necessary because internal persistent volume controller running in Kubernetes controller-manager does not have any direct interfaces to CSI drivers.
 
 ## Overview
-The external-provisioner is an external controller that monitors `PersistentVolumeClaim` objects created by user and annotatate by controller-manager and creates/deletes volumes for them. Full design can be found at Kubernetes proposal at [container-storage-interface.md](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/design-proposals/storage/container-storage-interface.md)

+Various external-provisioner releases come with different alpha / beta features. Alpha features are disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled on command line. Beta features are enabled by default and can be disabled on command line. Check `--help` output for alpha/beta features in each release.

 ## Usage
 
 It is necessary to create a new service account and give it enough privileges to run the external-provisioner, see `deploy/kubernetes/rbac.yaml`. The provisioner is then deployed as single Deployment as illustrated below:

 * `--worker-threads <num>`: Number of simultaneously running `ControllerCreateVolume` and `ControllerDeleteVolume` operations. Default value is `100`.
 
 #### Other recognized arguments
-* `--provisioning-retry-count <num>`: Sets number of retries of failed provisioning of a single volume. The external-provisioner will give up provisioning after given number of retries. It should be used only with special CSI drivers whose provisioning of volumes is extremely slow or expensive so the external-provisioner does not waste resources. Set to `0` to retry forever (which is also the default value).

-  * `AllAlpha`: Matches all alpha gates.
-  * `Topology` (alpha): Enables topology aware dynamic provisioning.

 * `--kubeconfig <path>`: Path to Kubernetes client configuration that the external-provisioner uses to connect to Kubernetes API server. When omitted, default token provided by Kubernetes will be used. This option is useful only when the external-provisioner does not run as a Kubernetes pod, e.g. for debugging. Either this or `--master` needs to be set if the external-provisioner is being run out of cluster.
