-## Ansible Turbo Mode Tech Preview
+## Testing and Development
-
-
-The ``kubernetes.core`` collection supports Ansible Turbo mode as a tech preview via the ``cloud.common`` collection. By default, this feature is disabled. To enable Turbo mode for modules, set the environment variable `ENABLE_TURBO_MODE=1` on the managed node. For example:
-
-```yaml
----
-- hosts: remote
-  environment:
-    ENABLE_TURBO_MODE: 1
-  tasks:
-    ...
-```
-
-To enable Turbo mode for k8s lookup plugin, set the environment variable `ENABLE_TURBO_MODE=1` on the managed node. This is not working when
-defined in the playbook using `environment` keyword as above, you must set it using `export ENABLE_TURBO_MODE=1`.
-
-Please read more about Ansible Turbo mode - [here](https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/blob/main/docs/ansible_turbo_mode.rst).
