+===========
+
+Bug reports, feature requests, help, patches, support and everything else are
+welcome on the Open Infrastructure Software Mailing List
+(https://lists.open-infrastructure.net/listinfo/software).

+Known limitations
+=================
+
+This version of compute-tools currently do not work with systemd-networkd and
+depend on ifupdown.
+
+Using overlay, the upper directory can not be an NFS mount due to limitations in
+Linux' overlay filesystem
+(https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.txt).
+

+
+Create a new container:
+  sudo container create -n NAME
+

+
+Remove a container:
+  sudo container remove -n NAME
