// Design:
//
// This is the sidecar controller that is responsible for creating and deleting a
// snapshot on the storage system through a csi volume driver. It watches
// VolumeSnapshotContent objects which have been either created/deleted by the
// common snapshot controller in the case of dynamic provisioning or by the admin
// in the case of pre-provisioned snapshots.

// The snapshot creation through csi driver should return a snapshot after
// it is created successfully(however, the snapshot might not be ready to use yet
// if there is an uploading phase). The creationTime will be updated accordingly
// on the status of VolumeSnapshotContent.
// After that, the sidecar controller will keep checking the snapshot status
// through csi snapshot calls. When the snapshot is ready to use, the sidecar
// controller set the status "ReadyToUse" to true on the VolumeSnapshotContent object
// to indicate the snapshot is ready to be used to restore a volume.
// If the creation failed for any reason, the Error status is set accordingly.
