+=========================================
+
+.. note::
+
+    We are transitioning BESS-UPF from SD-Core to SD-Fabric.
+    We are also working on consolidating interfaces required by BESS-UPF to simplify deployment.
+    More documentation and architectural contents are coming shortly once these are done.
+    For now, please refer to :ref:`BESS UPF Deployment <aether:edge_deployment/bess_upf_deployment:bess upf deployment>`
+    to learn more about how to configure and deploy BESS-UPF.
