-# GLibc compatibility package
-
-This directory includes the Docker scripts to build an image with GLibc compiled for Alpine Linux. 
-
-This is used to ensure plugins that are going to be used in the Pulsar image and that are depeding on GLibc, will
-still be working correctly in the Alpine Image. (eg: Netty Tc-Native and Kinesis Producer Library).
-
-This image only needs to be re-created when we want to upgrade to a newer version of GLibc.
-
-# Steps
-
-1. Change the version in the Dockerfile for this directory.
-2. Rebuild the image and push it to Docker Hub:
-```
-docker buildx build --platform=linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -t apachepulsar/glibc-base:2.38 . --push
-```
-
-The image tag is then used in `docker/pulsar/Dockerfile`.
