-## Pre-commits: Linting, Formatting and Secrets Scanning
+## Report bugs and feature requests
+
+CloudBees welcomes you to use the GitHub issue tracker to report bugs or suggest features.
+
+When filing an issue:
+
+1. Check existing open and recently closed [issues](https://github.com/cloudbees/terraform-aws-cloudbees-cd-eks-addon/issues) to ensure the issue has not already been reported.
+1. Review the upstream repositories:
+    - [aws-ia/terraform-aws-eks-blueprints](https://github.com/aws-ia/terraform-aws-eks-blueprints/issues)
+    - [aws-ia/terraform-aws-eks-blueprints-addons](https://github.com/aws-ia/terraform-aws-eks-blueprints-addons/issues)
+1. Try to include as much information as you can. Details like the following are incredibly useful:
+    - A reproducible test case or series of steps
+    - The version of code being used
+    - Any modifications you have made relevant to the bug
+    - Anything unusual about your environment or deployment
+
+## Contribute via pull requests
 
-Many of the files in the repository can be linted or formatted to
-maintain a standard of quality.
+Contributions via pull requests are appreciated. Before submitting a pull request, please ensure that you:
 
-Additionally, secret leaks are watched via gitleaks and git-secrets.
+1. Are working against the latest source on the `main` branch.
+1. Check existing open, and recently merged, pull requests to make sure someone else has not already addressed the problem.
+1. Open an issue to discuss any significant work; we do not want your time to be wasted.
+
+To submit a pull request:
+
+1. Fork the repository.
+1. Create a feature branch based on the `main` branch.
+1. Modify the source and focus on the specific change you are contributing. For example, if you reformat all the code, it is hard for reviewers to focus on your specific change.
+1. **Ensure that local tests pass**. Local tests can be orchestrated via the companion [Makefile](Makefile).
+1. Make commits to your fork using clear commit messages.
+1. Submit a pull request against the `main` branch and answer any default questions in the pull request interface.
+1. Pay attention to any automated failures reported in the pull request, and stay involved in the conversation.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> If you make updates to the embedded repository, you must push the changes to the public upstream (repository/branch) before running `terraform apply` locally. The endpoint and/or branch can be updated via the companion [Makefile](Makefile).
+
+## Pre-commits: Linting, Formatting and Secrets Scanning
 
-When working with the repository for the first time run pre-commit
+Many of the files in the repository can be linted or formatted to maintain a standard of quality. Additionally, secret leaks are watched via [gitleaks](https://github.com/zricethezav/gitleaks#pre-commit) and [git-secrets](https://github.com/awslabs/git-secrets).
 
-Run `pre-commit install`
-Run `pre-commit run --all-files`
+1. When working with the repository for the first time, you must install `pre-commit`. For more information, refer to [pre-commit installation](https://pre-commit.com/#installation).
+1. Run `pre-commit run --all-files`. Run this command again if the automated checks fail when you create a pull request.
 
 ## Release Drafter
 
-This repository uses [Release Drafter](https://github.com/release-drafter/release-drafter) thus it is recommended to use [Semantic Commit Messages](https://gist.github.com/joshbuchea/6f47e86d2510bce28f8e7f42ae84c716) to ease labelling your Pull Request accordingly.

-- Encapsulating the Deployment of [CloudBees CD Modern in AWS EKS](https://docs.cloudbees.com/docs/cloudbees-cd/latest/install-k8s/) into a Terraform module.
-- Providing a series of [Blueprints](blueprints) implementing the mentioned CloudBees CD Addon module on top of [AWS Terraform EKS Addons](https://aws-ia.github.io/terraform-aws-eks-blueprints-addons/main/) which are aligned with [EKS Best Practices Guides](https://aws.github.io/aws-eks-best-practices/).

 ## Prerequisites
 
 ### Tooling
 
-Blueprint `deploy` and `destroy` phases use the same tooling requirement per [AWS EKS Blueprints - Getting Started Guide - Prerequisites](https://aws-ia.github.io/terraform-aws-eks-blueprints/getting-started/#prerequisites).
-
-Nevertheless, the Blueprint `validate` phase might require additional toolings like `jq` and `velero`.

-> There is a companion [Dockerfile](blueprints/Dockerfile) to run the blueprints in a containerized Dev environment ensuring dependecies are met. It can be built by using the [Makefile](Makefile) target `make dRun`.

-## Data Storage Options
+## Data storage options
 
-The main components of CloudBees CD, use a file system to persist data. Data is stored in a couple of [places](https://docs.cloudbees.com/docs/cloudbees-cd/latest/requirements/k8s-requirements#persist) that can be configured to be stored in Amazon EBS or EFS:
+CloudBees CD/RO uses a file system to persist data. Data is stored in several [locations](https://docs.cloudbees.com/docs/cloudbees-cd/latest/requirements/k8s-requirements#persist) and configured to be stored in Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) or Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)
 
-- Amazon EBS volumes are scoped to a particular Availability Zone to offer high-speed, low-latency access to the EC2 instances they are connected to. If an Availability Zone fails, an EBS volume becomes inaccessible due to file corruption, or there is a service outage, the data on these volumes will become inaccessible. Operations Center and Managed Controller pods require this persistent data and have no mechanism to replicate the data, so we recommend frequent backups for Amazon EBS.
-- Amazon EFS file systems are scoped to an AWS Region and can be accessed from any Availability Zone in the Region the file system was created in. Using Amazon EFS as a storage class for the Operations Center and Managed Controller allows pods to be rescheduled successfully onto healthy nodes in the event of an Availability Zone outage. Amazon EFS file systems may increase the cost of the deployment compared to the Amazon EBS option, but provide greater fault tolerance.
