To improve the performance of persistent volumes accessed directly from
the Synology by Kubernetes pods, I've decided to expose the storage
network to the Kubernetes worker node VMs. This way, iSCSI traffic does
not have to go through the firewall.
I chose not to use the physical interfaces that are already directly
connected to the storage network for this for two reasons: 1) I like
the physical separation of concerns and 2) it would add complexity to
the setup by introducing a bridge on top of the existing bond.
