 # Kubernetes Collection for Ansible
 
+[![CI](https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/workflows/CI/badge.svg?event=push)](https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/actions) [![Codecov](https://img.shields.io/codecov/c/github/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core)](https://codecov.io/gh/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core)
+
 This repository hosts the `kubernetes.core` (formerly known as `community.kubernetes`) Ansible Collection.
 
-## Description
-
 The collection includes a variety of Ansible content to help automate the management of applications in Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters, as well as the provisioning and maintenance of clusters themselves.
 
-## Communication
-
-* Join the Ansible forum:
-  * [Get Help](https://forum.ansible.com/c/help/6): get help or help others.
-  * [Posts tagged with 'kubernetes'](https://forum.ansible.com/tag/kubernetes): subscribe to participate in collection-related conversations.
-  * [Social Spaces](https://forum.ansible.com/c/chat/4): gather and interact with fellow enthusiasts.
-  * [News & Announcements](https://forum.ansible.com/c/news/5): track project-wide announcements including social events.
-
-* The Ansible [Bullhorn newsletter](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/communication.html#the-bullhorn): used to announce releases and important changes.
-
-For more information about communication, see the [Ansible communication guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/communication.html).

-## Requirements
-
 <!--start requires_ansible-->
-## Ansible Version Compatibility
+## Ansible version compatibility
 
-This collection has been tested against following Ansible versions: **>=2.15.0**.
+This collection has been tested against following Ansible versions: **>=2.9.17**.
 
-For collections that support Ansible 2.9, please ensure you update your `network_os` to use the
-fully qualified collection name (for example, `cisco.ios.ios`).
 Plugins and modules within a collection may be tested with only specific Ansible versions.
 A collection may contain metadata that identifies these versions.
 PEP440 is the schema used to describe the versions of Ansible.
 <!--end requires_ansible-->
 
-### Helm Version Compatibility
+## Python Support
 
-Helm modules in this collection are compatible with Helm v3.x and are not yet compatible with Helm v4. Individual modules and their parameters may support a more specific range of Helm versions.
-
-### Python Support
-
-* Collection supports 3.9+
+* Collection supports 3.6+
 
 Note: Python2 is deprecated from [1st January 2020](https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/). Please switch to Python3.

    - To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when ``validate_certs`` is *True*, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ``ca_cert`` or in the kubeconfig file.

-   - To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when ``validate_certs`` is *True*, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ``ca_cert`` or in the kubeconfig file.
