+This repository contains varous components for running Kubernetes on STACKIT.
 This provider allows your Kubernetes cluster to integrate directly with STACKIT APIs.
 
 ## Features
+
 This repository hosts the following components:
+
 - Cloud Controller Manager (CCM)
 - STACKIT CSI driver
 - Kubernetes Resources for the Manager
 - Ginko bootstrapped Test Suite
 
 Does not include:
 
-- readyz and healthz
+- `readyz` and `healthz`
 - Kubernetes Client with self authorization by `inClusterConfig`
 
-## Operations
-
-- Required: STACKIT-specific settings have to be set using a cloud config via `--cloud-config=config.yaml`.
-
-```yaml
-# config.yaml
-projectId:
-networkId:
-region: eu01
-```
-
-- Required: STACKIT authentication for SDK
-  - To authenticate against the STACKIT API follow [STACKIT SDK authentication](https://github.com/stackitcloud/stackit-sdk-go#authentication). The cloud controller manager supports all authentication methods that are supported by the SDK.
-- Service metrics are available at `https://:10258/metrics`. To allow unauthorized access add `--authorization-always-allow-paths=/metrics`.
-- Load Balancer metrics can be sent to a remote write endpoint (e.g. STACKIT observability). To use this feature all the following environment variables need to be set:
-  - `STACKIT_REMOTEWRITE_ENDPOINT` the remote write push URL to send the metrics to
-  - `STACKIT_REMOTEWRITE_USER` the basic auth username
-  - `STACKIT_REMOTEWRITE_PASSWORD` the basic auth password
-  - If none of these environment variables are set, this feature is ignored and no Load Balancer metrics are sent.
-
