 ## Setup local environment (kind)
 
-Create a kind cluster with kuadrant and prometheus/thanos installed and configured
+Create a kind cluster with kuadrant and prometheus/thanos installed and configured using the [kuadrant-operator](https://github.com/Kuadrant/kuadrant-operator) repo tasks and config.
+
+In the kuadrant-operator directory, run the following to create a local kind cluster with kuadrant deployed:
 ```shell
-cd kuadrant-operator
 make local-setup
+```
+
+## Pre-test setup
+
+Scale down the default dns operator:
+```shell
 kubectl scale deployment/dns-operator-controller-manager --replicas=0 -n kuadrant-system
+```
+Note: This is required for the default kubeburner workload (namespaced-dns-operator-deployments.yaml) as it creates its own dns operator deployments.
+
+Deploy the observability stack:
+```shell
 #kubectl apply --server-side -k github.com/mikenairn/dns-operator/config/observability?ref=add_scale_test
 kubectl apply --server-side -k github.com/kuadrant/dns-operator/config/observability?ref=main # Run twice if it fails the first time
 ```
+Note: This should be in the kuadrant-operator repo instead of the dns operator
+
+[//]: # (ToDo mnairn: Move this)
+
+Forward port for prometheus to allow kube burner to access it on the default PROMETHEUS_URL (http://127.0.0.1:9090):
+```shell
+kubectl -n monitoring port-forward service/thanos-query 9090:9090
+```
+
 ## Run test 
 
 ```shell
-make test-scale-dnspolicy NUM_LISTENERS=1 NUM_GWS=1 JOB_ITERATIONS=10 SKIP_CLEANUP=false
-```
\ No newline at end of file
+make test-scale-dnspolicy NUM_LISTENERS=1 NUM_GWS=1 JOB_ITERATIONS=1 SKIP_CLEANUP=false
+```
+
+
+### Useful commands
+
+Delete all resources created by the test, useful if you used SKIP_CLEANUP=true
+```shell
+kubectl delete gateway,httproute,dnspolicy,all -A -l app=scale-test
+```
