Based on the following: https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/external-storage https://github.com/codedellemc/goisilon
Instructions: In order to use this external provisioner, you can use the image pushed to docker hub "xphyr/k8s_isi_provisioner", or build it yourself.
To build this provisioner, ensure you have go, and glide installed. This code has been tested with Go 1.8 and higher. To build the software, run make.
