This component accomplishes that in the following ways:

1. By installing a separate, very basic "CNI plugin" binary onto the node to forward low-level pod lifecycle events (CmdAdd/CmdDel/etc) from whatever node-level CNI subsystem is in use to this node agent for processing via socket.
1. By running as a node-level daemonset that:

  // +optional
  optional int32 mode = 3;
}

// Lifecycle describes actions that the management system should take in response to container lifecycle
// events. For the PostStart and PreStop lifecycle handlers, management of the container blocks
// until the action is complete, unless the container process fails, in which case the handler is aborted.
message Lifecycle {

  //
  // The other mode is "Ephemeral". In this mode, volumes are defined inline inside the pod spec
  // with CSIVolumeSource and their lifecycle is tied to the lifecycle of that pod.
  // A driver has to be aware of this because it is only going to get a NodePublishVolume call for such a volume.
  //
  // For more information about implementing this mode, see
