 Sample configurations to facilitate installation, configuration, and environment setup for Podman users. This project includes quick start `Containerfiles` for Oracle SOA 14.1.2.0 based on Oracle Linux 8, Oracle JDK 17, and Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure 14.1.2.0.
 
+**IMPORTANT**: We provide Dockerfiles as samples to build SOA images but this is _NOT_ a recommended practice. We recommend obtaining patched SOA Suite images; patched images have the latest security patches. For more information, see [Obtaining, Creating, and Updating Oracle Fusion Middleware Images with Patches](<https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/fusion-middleware/14.1.2/opatc/obtaining-creating-and-updating-oracle-fusion-middleware-images-patches.html>).
+
+The samples in this repository are for development purposes only. We recommend for production to use alternative methods, we suggest obtaining base SOA Suite images from the [Oracle Container Registry](<https://container-registry.oracle.com/ords/ocr/ba/middleware/soasuite>).
+
+Consider using the open source [WebLogic Kubernetes Operator](<https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/soa-suite/soa/14.1.2/soakn/oracle-soa-suite.html>) to deploy and manage SOA Suite domains.
+
+The sample files in this repository are for development purposes, customers and users are welcome to use them as starters, and customize, tweak, or create from scratch, new scripts and Containerfiles.
+
+
 At the end of this configuration there will be at least two running containers:
 1. (Optional) Oracle Database container (only when RCU schema is created in a database running in a container)
 2. Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Server container
