 However, in order for the cluster to run the CCM from the start, you need to add an additional step to the installation.
 
-By specifying the `CustomNoUpgrade` feature gate in the cluster with `ExternalCloudProvider` you are enabling CCCMO logic for providers, which are currently in Technical Preview state.
-
 ```bash
 export OPENSHIFT_INSTALL_RELEASE_IMAGE_OVERRIDE=quay.io/<your-repo>/release:<your-branch> 
 
-# This step would stop after creation of ./manifests folder. All resources placed there will be created in the cluster
-# during bootstrap and would override the default state of the resource in the cluster.
-openshift-install create manifests
