-# Goscaleio
-The *Goscaleio* project represents API bindings that can be used to provide ScaleIO functionality into other Go applications.
-
-
-- [Current State](#state)
-- [Usage](#usage)
-- [Licensing](#licensing)
-- [Support](#support)
-
-## Use Cases
-Any application written in Go can take advantage of these bindings.  Specifically, things that are involved in monitoring, management, and more specifically infrastructrue as code would find these bindings relevant.
-
-
-## <a id="state">Current State</a>
-Early build-out and pre-documentation stages.  The basics around authentication and object models are there.
-
-
-## <a id="usage">Usage</a>
-
-### Logging in
-
-    client, err := goscaleio.NewClient()
-    if err != nil {
-      log.Fatalf("err: %v", err)
-    }
-
-    _, err = client.Authenticate(&goscaleio.ConfigConnect{endpoint, username, password})
-    if err != nil {
-      log.Fatalf("error authenticating: %v", err)
-    }
-
-    fmt.Println("Successfuly logged in to ScaleIO Gateway at", client.SIOEndpoint.String())
-
-
-### Reusing the authentication token
-Once a client struct is created via the ```NewClient()``` function, you can replace the ```Token``` with the saved token.
-
-    client, err := goscaleio.NewClient()
-    if err != nil {
-      log.Fatalf("error with NewClient: %s", err)
-    }
-
-    client.SetToken(oldToken)
-
-### Get Systems
-Retrieving systems is the first step after authentication which enables you to work with other necessary methods.
-
-#### All Systems
-
-    systems, err := client.GetInstance()
-    if err != nil {
-      log.Fatalf("err: problem getting instance %v", err)
-    }
-
-#### Find a System
-
-    system, err := client.FindSystem(systemid,"","")
-    if err != nil {
-      log.Fatalf("err: problem getting instance %v", err)
-    }
-
-
-### Get Protection Domains
-Once you have a ```System``` struct you can then get other things like ```Protection Domains```.
-
-    protectiondomains, err := system.GetProtectionDomain()
-    if err != nil {
-      log.Fatalf("error getting protection domains: %v", err)
-    }
-
-## Debugging
-
-Two environment variables can be set to aid in debugging
-
-Env Var | Default Value |
--- | -- |
-`GOSCALEIO_DEBUG` | `false`
-`GOSCALEIO_SHOWHTTP` | `false`
-
-Setting `GOSCALEIO_DEBUG` well enable logging to `stdout`.
-Setting `GOSCALEIO_SHOWHTTP` will log all HTTP requests and responses to `stdout`.

+# :lock: **Important Notice**
+Starting with the release of **Container Storage Modules v1.16.0**, this repository will no longer be maintained as an open source project. Future development will continue under a closed source model. This change reflects our commitment to delivering even greater value to our customers by enabling faster innovation and more deeply integrated features with the Dell storage portfolio.<br>
+For existing customers using Dell’s Container Storage Modules, you will continue to receive:
+* **Ongoing Support & Community Engagement**<br>
+       You will continue to receive high-quality support through Dell Support and our community channels. Your experience of engaging with the Dell community remains unchanged.
+* **Streamlined Deployment & Updates**<br>
+        Deployment and update processes will remain consistent, ensuring a smooth and familiar experience.
+* **Access to Documentation & Resources**<br>
+       All documentation and related materials will remain publicly accessible, providing transparency and technical guidance.
+* **Continued Access to Current Open Source Version**<br>
+       The current open-source version will remain available under its existing license for those who rely on it.
+
+Moving to a closed source model allows Dell’s development team to accelerate feature delivery and enhance integration across our Enterprise Kubernetes Storage solutions ultimately providing a more seamless and robust experience.<br>
+We deeply appreciate the contributions of the open source community and remain committed to supporting our customers through this transition.<br>
