 Product description
 -------------------
 
 The Ansible modules for Dell PowerFlex are used to automate and orchestrate
 the deployment, configuration, and management of Dell PowerFlex storage
 systems. The capabilities of Ansible modules are managing volumes,
-storage pools, SDCs, snapshots, snapshot policy, SDSs, replication consistency groups, replication pairs, devices, protection domain, MDM and fault sets.

 The modules use playbooks to list, show, create, delete, and modify
 each of the entities.
 
 New features and enhancements
 -----------------------------
 Along with the previous release deliverables, this release supports following features - 
-- Fault set module is introduced to create, get details, rename and delete fault sets.
-- The SDS module has been enhanced to facilitate SDS creation within a fault set.
-- The Info module is enhanced to retrieve lists related to fault sets, service templates, deployments, and managed devices.
+- Added support for resource group provisioning to validate, deploy, edit, add nodes and delete a resource group.
+- The Info module is enhanced to list out all the firmware repository.
+- Added support for PowerFlex ansible modules and roles on Azure.
 
 Known issues
 ------------
 - Setting the RF cache and performance profile of the SDS during its creation fails intermittently on PowerFlex version 3.5.
 - The creation of replication pair fails when copy_type is specified as OfflineCopy on PowerFlex version 4.0.
-- Pagination in info module with offset and limit fetches more than expected records when listing service templates or deployments.
