 ## Overview
 
 The purpose of liveness probe is to be able to detect liveness of CSI driver

 Livenessprobe leverages CSI Probe API call, which must be answered by CSI
 compatible driver.

 to kubelet that pod is not healthy and kubelet schedules pod restart to recover it.
 
 See CSI spec for more information about Probe API call.
