-## Description
 
-This repository contains a [Juju Charm](https://charmhub.io/postgresql) for deploying [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/about/) on virtual machines ([LXD](https://ubuntu.com/lxd)).
-To deploy on Kubernetes, please use [Charmed PostgreSQL K8s Operator](https://charmhub.io/postgresql-k8s).
+This repository contains a charmed operator for deploying [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/about/) on virtual machines via the [Juju orchestration engine](https://juju.is/).
 
-This operator provides a PostgreSQL database with replication enabled: one primary instance and one (or more) hot standby replicas. The Operator in this repository is a Python script which wraps PostgreSQL versions distributed by Ubuntu Jammy series and adding [Patroni](https://github.com/zalando/patroni) on top of it, providing lifecycle management and handling events (install, configure, integrate, remove, etc).
+To learn more about how to deploy and operate Charmed PostgreSQL, see the [official documentation](https://canonical-charmed-postgresql.readthedocs-hosted.com/).
