+    It is no longer a requirement to provide the parameter: ``DnsServers``
+    in the environment when deploying. Now ``get_attr`` on the server resource
+    is used to resolve the value from the ``ctlplane`` subnet's

+    user provided the parameter in the environment. If the user provided the
+    parameter, the user provided value is used.

+    Since the the ``DnsServers`` can now be resolved from the ``ctlplane``
+    subnet(s) this parameter can be removed from the environment
+    (``network-environment.yaml``).
+
+    .. Note:: Prior to removing the parameter ensure that the property of
+              the ``ctlplane`` subnet(s) is correct. In case it is not, update
+              ``undercloud.conf`` with the correct configuration and re-run the
+              ``openstack undercloud install`` command to ensure the property
+              is set correctly.
+
+    .. Note:: ``DnsServers`` is now passed to the network config template when
+              the resource is created. Because of this the parameter must be
+              defined in the network config template, even if it is not used.
