 [`kata-deploy`](.) provides a Dockerfile, which contains all of the binaries
 and artifacts required to run Kata Containers, as well as reference DaemonSets, which can
-be utilized to install Kata Containers for both Docker and on a running Kubernetes cluster.
+be utilized to install Kata Containers on a running Kubernetes cluster.
 
 Note, installation through DaemonSets successfully installs `katacontainers.io/kata-runtime` on
 a node only if it uses either containerd or CRI-O CRI-shims.
 
-## Docker quick start
-
-The `kata-deploy` container image makes use of a script, `kata-deploy-docker`, for installation of
-Kata artifacts and configuration of Docker to utilize the runtime. The following volumes are required to be mounted
-to aid in this:
-- `/opt/kata`: this is where all Kata artifacts are installed on the system
-- `/var/run/dbus`, `/run/systemd`: this is require for reloading the the Docker service
-- `/etc/docker`: this is required for updating `daemon.json` in order to configure the Kata runtimes in Docker

-### Install Kata and configure Docker
-
-To install:
-
-```sh
-$ docker run -v /opt/kata:/opt/kata -v /var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus -v /run/systemd:/run/systemd -v /etc/docker:/etc/docker -it katadocker/kata-deploy kata-deploy-docker install
-```
-
-Once complete, `/etc/docker/daemon.json` is updated or created to include the Kata runtimes: `kata-qemu` and `kata-fc`, for utilizing
-QEMU and Firecracker, respectively, for the VM isolation layer.
-
-### Run a sample workload utilizing Kata containers
-
-Run a QEMU QEMU isolated Kata container:
-
-```sh
-$ docker run --runtime=kata-qemu -itd alpine
-```
-
-Run a Firecracker isolated Kata container:
-
-```sh
-$ docker run --runtime=kata-fc -itd alpine
-```
-
-### Remove Kata
-
-To uninstall:
-
-```sh
-$ docker run -v /opt/kata:/opt/kata -v /var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus -v /run/systemd:/run/systemd -v /etc/docker:/etc/docker -it katadocker/kata-deploy kata-deploy-docker remove
-```
-
-After completing, the original `daemon.json`, if it existed, is restored and all Kata artifacts from `/opt/kata` are removed.
