-**Eclipse Kura**, from [the maori word for tank/container](https://maoridictionary.co.nz/search/?keywords=kura), is an OSGi-based Application Framework for M2M Service Gateways
-
-Kura aims at offering a Java/OSGi-based container for M2M applications running in service gateways. Kura provides or, when available, aggregates open source implementations for the most common services needed by M2M applications. Kura components are designed as configurable OSGi Declarative Service exposing service API and raising events. While several Kura components are in pure Java, others are invoked through JNI and have a dependency on the Linux operating system.

+## What is Eclipse Kura™?
+From [the maori word for tank/container](https://maoridictionary.co.nz/search/?keywords=kura), Eclipse Kura™ is a versatile software framework designed to supercharge your edge devices. With an intuitive web interface, Eclipse Kura™ streamlines the process of configuring your gateway, connecting sensors, and IoT devices to seamlessly collect, process, and send data to the cloud. Eclipse Kura™ provides an extensible Java API for developing custom plugins within the framework. Additionally, it offers a REST API, enabling the use of Eclipse Kura™ as a backend service in your application.
+
+Eclipse Kura™ runs on an edge gateway, which can be anything from a small SBC(single-board computer) like a Raspberry Pi, or a powerful high-performance computer.
+
+### What can Eclipse Kura™ do for me?
+* **Kura™ Services:** Provision and set up features to run on your gateway, such as an MQTT broker.
+* **Kura™ Networking:** Manage Network connectivity, including 
+* **Kura™ Wires:** Design data flows and data processing streams effortlessly with a drag-and-drop visual editor.
+* **Kura™ Cloud Connectors:** Extendable cloud connector system. 
+* **Kura™ Drivers:** Extendable service that handles reading data off of external devices.
+* **Kura™ Snapshots:** Securely store and re-apply gateway settings for convenience.
+* **Kura™ Security**: Easily and safely store your secrets.
+* **Kura™ Container Orchestrator**: Manage Docker or Podman containers on your gateway for ultimate flexibility.
+* **Kura™ AI Inference**: Run Nvidia Triton Models on the edge.
+* **Kura™ Plugins**: Add and Extend the framework by adding your own Services, and Drivers.
+* **Kura™ REST Service**: Embed the framework as a backend in your own edge applications.
+
+### I have used Eclipse Kura™ to make a small-scale Edge deployment, how do I scale now?
+If you want to scale, and manage many instances of Eclipse Kura™, check out [**Eclipse Kapua™**](https://github.com/eclipse/kapua). [Eclipse Kapua™](https://github.com/eclipse/kapua) is a Eclipse Kura™ compatible cloud command and control service that allows you to aggregate data and configure many Eclipse Kura™ devices.

 ### Eclipse IDE
-The simplest way to start developing on Eclipse Kura is to use an [Eclipse Installer](https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/) based setup. A detailed installation and setup guide is available on the [official documentation](https://eclipse.github.io/kura/docs-develop/java-application-development/development-environment-setup). Here you'll find a brief explaination of the required steps.

Here you'll find a brief explaination of the required steps.
 
 To correctly setup the environment, proceed as follows:
 - Install a jdk-8 distribution like [Eclipse Temurin](https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?version=8) for your specific CPU architecture and OS.
 - Start the Eclipse Installer
 - Switch to advanced mode (top right hamburger menu > Advanced Mode)
 - Select "Eclipse IDE for Eclipse Committers" and configure the "Product Version" to be the version **2023-03 or newer**.
