-There are a few things to note in this description.  First is that we are running the ```kubernetes/cassandra``` image.  This is a standard Cassandra installation on top of Debian.  However it also adds a custom [```SeedProvider```](https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/locator/SeedProvider.java) to Cassandra.  In Cassandra, a ```SeedProvider``` bootstraps the gossip protocol that Cassandra uses to find other nodes.  The ```KubernetesSeedProvider``` discovers the Kubernetes API Server using the built in Kubernetes discovery service, and then uses the Kubernetes API to find new nodes (more on this later)
+There are a few things to note in this description.  First is that we are running the [```gcr.io/google_containers/cassandra:v6```](image/Dockerfile) image from Google's [container registry](https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/docs/).

 You may also note that we are setting some Cassandra parameters (```MAX_HEAP_SIZE``` and ```HEAP_NEWSIZE```) and adding information about the [namespace](../../docs/user-guide/namespaces.md).  We also tell Kubernetes that the container exposes both the ```CQL``` and ```Thrift``` API ports.  Finally, we tell the cluster manager that we need 0.1 cpu (0.1 core).
