-The simplest way to try out Arvados is to use the Docker-based installation, which installs Arvados in a series of Docker containers.
+{% include 'notebox_begin' %}
+This section is about installing an Arvados cluster. If you are just looking to install Arvados client tools and libraries, "go to the SDK section.":{{site.baseurl}}/sdk/
+{% include 'notebox_end' %}
-For larger scale installations, a manual installation is more appropriate.
+Arvados components run on supported GNU/Linux distributions. The Arvados elastic compute management layer supports Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure cloud platforms as well as on-premises installs using SLURM and IBM Spectrum LSF. The Arvados storage layer supports filesystem storage (including NFS, such as IBM GPFS), Azure blob storage, Amazon S3, and systems that offer an S3-compatible API such as Ceph Object Gateway and NetApp StorageGRID.
