 # Deploy Heketi/Glusterfs into Kubespray/Kubernetes
 This playbook aims to automate [this](https://github.com/heketi/heketi/blob/master/docs/admin/install-kubernetes.md) tutorial. It deploys heketi/glusterfs into kubernetes and sets up a storageclass.
 
+## Important notice
+> Due to resource limits on the current project maintainers and general lack of contributions we are considering placing Heketi into a near-maintenance mode.[...]
