 ### Cluster Creation Tools
 
-A common example is that not all Kubernetes clusters are created exactly the same way, meaning the configuration to monitor them may be slightly different. For [kubeadm](examples/jsonnet-snippets/kubeadm.jsonnet), [bootkube](examples/jsonnet-snippets/bootkube.jsonnet), [kops](examples/jsonnet-snippets/kops.jsonnet) and [kubespray](examples/jsonnet-snippets/kubespray.jsonnet) clusters there are mixins available to easily configure these:

 # Adding a new platform specific configuration
 
-Adding a new platform specific configuration requires to update the
-[platforms.jsonnet](./platform.jsonnet) file by adding the platform to the list
-of existing ones.
-
-This allow configuring the new platform in the following way:
-
-```jsonnet
-(import 'kube-prometheus/main.libsonnet') +
-  {
-    values+:: {
-      kubePrometheus+: {
-        platform: 'example-platform',
-      }
-    }
-  }
-```
+Adding a new platform specific configuration requires to update the [README](../../../README.md#cluster-creation-tools) and the [platforms.jsonnet](./platform.jsonnet) file by adding the platform to the list of existing ones. This allow the new platform to be discoverable and easily configurable by the users.
