+Date: Fri, 7 Apr 2023 23:16:08 +0000
+Subject: [PATCH] Docker Image Changes for StarlingX integration
 
-  - Add Image Pull Secrets to service accounts.
-  - Remove Docker Image Tag creation to prevent multiple image tags.
-  - VFIO mode fix for STX to disable Operator from checking if vfio_pci
-    enable_sriov is enabled in the kernel command line parameters, as it is not
-    required for StarlingX platform. This module parameter is mandatory for 
-    vfio mode, which will be mentioned in the documentation. 
+- Add Image Pull Secrets to service accounts.
+- Remove Docker Image Tag creation to prevent multiple image tags.
+- Daemon Dockerfile updates to use CentOS base image.
+- Improve Robustness of the telemetry feature.
