+All `.yaml` files in the `/manifests` folder are generated via
+[Jsonnet](https://jsonnet.org/). Contributing changes will most likely include
+the following process:
+
+1. Make your changes in the respective `*.jsonnet` file.
+2. Commit your changes (This is currently necessary due to our vendoring
+   process. This is likely to change in the future).
+3. Generate dependent `*.yaml` files: `make generate-in-docker`.
+4. Commit the generated changes.
