 ## What is KubeFleet? 
 
-KubeFleet is an open-source, multi-cluster Kubernetes resource management solution developed by Microsoft Azure. It provides a robust framework for orchestrating and distributing Kubernetes resources representing configs (e.g., roles, bindings, quotas, policies) and applications (e.g., deployments, services) across a fleet of Kubernetes clusters. Whether you're managing clusters on-premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment, KubeFleet offers the tools you need to ensure seamless operations. 
-KubeFleet is designed to be cloud provider agnostic. This allows KubeFleet to manage clusters across cloud providers and on-prem. It also supports provider mode that allows each adapter to provide their customized plug-ins like resource price.

+KubeFleet is designed to be cloud provider agnostic so you can deploy it on EKS, GKE or any other cloud provider you choose. It is designed from the outset with provider mode that allows each adapter to provide their customized plug-ins like resource price or sku capacities.

 ## Key Features of KubeFleet 
 
- * Multi-Cluster Orchestration: KubeFleet enables users to create resources on a central cluster and selectively propagate these resources to desired member clusters. This intelligent scheduling is based on various factors such as names, labels, capacity, cluster size, and cost. It also has powerful override capabilities to allow users to customize the resources based on the selected cluster. 
+ * Advanced multi-Cluster Orchestration: KubeFleet enables users to create resources on a hub cluster, served as the control plane for the entire fleet, and selectively propagate any changes of the resources to desired member clusters automatically. 
+    This intelligent scheduling is based on various factors such as names, labels, capacity, cluster size, and cost. It also has powerful override capabilities to allow users to customize the resources based on the selected cluster. 
+    On top of that, KubeFleet provides dynamic scheduling features to allow users to move resources between clusters in the runtime.
 
- * Staged Rollouts: With KubeFleet, you can centrally manage the rollout of changes to your applications across multiple clusters. This feature ensures that updates are deployed in a controlled and efficient manner without causing multi-cluster failures.

- * Config Management: KubeFleet streamlines config management by allowing teams to manage Kubernetes native configurations, such as resource quotas, RBAC, and network policies, at scale. It also provides a set of powerful tools to allow users to perform takeover actions, detect drifting, and report differences between the desired version and the applied resources on each cluster.

  * One-way Connections: KubeFleet doesn't require connections from the central management cluster (i.e., hub cluster) to member clusters. It only requires one-way connections from member clusters to the hub, allowing member clusters to stay private.

  * Improved Security: KubeFleet's support for private egress and network isolation ensures that your clusters remain secure and compliant with industry standards. 
 
  * Scalability: Whether you have a few clusters or hundreds, KubeFleet scales to meet your needs, providing a flexible and robust solution for multi-cluster management.
