 ## Overview
 
-Ceph CSI plugins implement an interface between CSI enabled Container
-Orchestrator (CO) and CEPH cluster.
-It allows dynamically provisioning CEPH volumes and attaching them to
-workloads.
-Current implementation of Ceph CSI plugins was tested in Kubernetes
-environment (requires Kubernetes 1.13+), but the code does not rely on
-any Kubernetes specific calls (WIP to make it k8s agnostic) and
-should be able to run with any CSI enabled CO.

-For details about configuration and deployment of RBD and

+Independent CSI plugins are provided to support RBD and CephFS backed volumes,

+## Project status
+
+Status: **Alpha**
+
+The **alpha** status reflects possible non-backward compatible changes in the
+future, and is thus not recommended for production use. There is work in progress
+that would change on-disk metadata for certain operations, possibly breaking
+backward compatibility.
+
+## Supported CO platforms
+
+Ceph CSI drivers are currently developed and tested **exclusively** on Kubernetes
+environments. There is work in progress to make this CO independent and thus
+support other orchestration environments in the future.
+
+For Kubernetes versions 1.11 and 1.12, please use [0.3 images and
+deployments](https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/tree/csi-v0.3/deploy/).
+
+For Kubernetes versions 1.13 and above, please use [1.0 images and
+deployments](https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/tree/csi-v1.0/deploy/).
