+= Understanding Orchestrator plugin dependencies for Operator installation
 
 The Orchestrator plugin in {product-very-short} requires components such as SonataFlow and supporting network policies to run. When you enable the plugin in your {product-custom-resource-type} custom resource (CR), the Operator automatically provisions these dependencies for you:
 
 * A `SonataflowPlatform` CR
 * `NetworkPolicies` that allow traffic between infrastructure resources (Knative, Serverless Logic Operator), monitoring traffic, and intra-namespace traffic
 
-[NOTE]
-====
-Orchestrator currently supports only {ocp-short}; it is not available on AKS, EKS, or GKE.
-====
-
 The `orchestrator-backend` plugin uses the `sonataflow-platform-data-index-service`, which the `SonataFlowPlatform` CR creates to communicate with the SonataFlow platform.
 
-The Operator resolves the dependency reference SonataFlow against the `sonataflow.yaml` manifest included in its profile configuration (`config/profile/rhdh/plugin-deps/sonataflow.yaml`) and applies it to create the required resources.
-
-The Operator automatically applies the `sonataflow.yaml` manifest, creating the `SonataFlowPlatform` CR and required `NetworkPolicy` resources in the {product-custom-resource-type} CR namespace.
