-This provides a Clear Linux* haproxy instance.
+# Clear Linux* OS `haproxy` container image
 
-Build
------
-docker build -t clearlinux/haproxy .
+<!-- Required -->
+## What is this image?
 
-Or just pull it from Dockerhub
----------------------------
-docker pull clearlinux/haproxy
+`clearlinux/haproxy` is a Docker image with `haproxy` running on top of the
+[official clearlinux base image](https://hub.docker.com/_/clearlinux). 
 
-start a haproxy instance
------------------------
-docker run --name some-haproxy -d -p 8080:80 clearlinux/haproxy
+<!-- application introduction -->
+> [Haproxy](http://www.haproxy.org/)  is a free, very fast and reliable solution offering 
+> high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.
 
-use customized configuration file
----------------------
-Since no two users of haproxy are likely to configure it exactly alike, we provide /usr/local/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg as an example, user may need to customize their own and override this default. Please refer to [page](https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/) for configure details.
+For other Clear Linux* OS
+based container images, see: https://hub.docker.com/u/clearlinux
 
-Details of how-to
----------------------
-Please refer to the docker official haproxy image [page](https://hub.docker.com/_/haproxy).

+> [Clear Linux* OS](https://clearlinux.org/) is an open source, rolling release
+> Linux distribution optimized for performance and security, from the Cloud to
+> the Edge, designed for customization, and manageability.
 
-Default build args in Docker are on: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#arg
+Clear Linux* OS based container images use:
+* Optimized libraries that are compiled with latest compiler versions and
+  flags.
+* Software packages that follow upstream source closely and update frequently.
+* An aggressive security model and best practices for CVE patching.
+* A multi-staged build approach to keep a reduced container image size.
+* The same container syntax as the official images to make getting started
+  easy.

+## Deployment:
+
+### Deploy with Docker
+The easiest way to get started with this image is by simply pulling it from
+Docker Hub. 
+
+*Note: This container uses the same syntax as the [official haproxy
+image](https://hub.docker.com/_/haproxy).
+
+
+1. Pull the image from Docker Hub: 
+    ```
+    docker pull clearlinux/haproxy
+    ```
+
+2. Start a container using the examples below:
+
+    ```
+    docker run --name some-haproxy -d -p 8080:80 clearlinux/haproxy
+    ```
+
+<!-- Optional -->
+### Deploy with Kubernetes
+
+<!-- Required -->
+## Build and modify:
+
+The Dockerfiles for all Clear Linux* OS based container images are available at
+https://github.com/clearlinux/dockerfiles. These can be used to build and
+modify the container images.
+
+1. Clone the clearlinux/dockerfiles repository.
+    ```
+    git clone https://github.com/clearlinux/dockerfiles.git
+    ```
+
+2. Change to the directory of the application:
+    ```
+    cd haproxy/
+    ```
+
+3. Build the container image:
+    ```
+    docker build -t clearlinux/haproxy .
+    ```
+
+   Refer to the Docker documentation for [default build
+   arguments](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#arg).
+   Additionally:
+   
+   - `swupd_args` - specifies arguments to pass to the Clear Linux* OS software
+     manager. See the [swupd man
+     pages](https://github.com/clearlinux/swupd-client/blob/master/docs/swupd.1.rst#options)
+     for more information.
