+- 🏎 From code commit to deployed in less than 5 minutes
+- 🤑 Serverless deployment for < $7 per month

-- Clone this repository to your own Github account
+- Clone this repository to your own Github account - so we can leverage github actions
 - AWS account with LightSail service enabled and a container service explicitly called `djangoapp` - the build script depends on your app having this name. You can update it later by using find and replace and rebuilding your containers. 
 
 
 ## Steps
 
 ### 1. Configure AWS LightSail Container Service
-
 - Log in to your AWS Management Console.
 - Navigate to the LightSail container.
-- Create a container service and configure it based on your project requirements.
-- Note the name of your service (you'll need it later)
+- Create a container service and name it `djangoapp` and pick a region you desire. 
 - Note the region of your service
-- Write down your `service name` and your `region`
 
 ### 2. Set Up AWS Access Credentials
