+### Migrating to v1
+
+Starting with the v1.x release, management of DNS records has been extracted from this compute provider and implemented as DNS plugins, similar to compute providers. This means each pool configuration should be pointing to a configuration object in `:dns_config` to determine it's method of record management.
+
+For those using DNS management via this provider, the DNS related options should be moved under `:dns_configs:<INSERT_YOUR_OWN_SYMBOL>` with the value for `dns_class`.
+
+For example, the following keys in a v0.x GCE provider config:
+
+```yaml
+:providers:
+  :gce:
+    domain: vmpooler.example.com
+    dns_zone_resource_name: vmpooler-example-com
+```
+
+Would be moved to:
+
+```yaml
+:dns_configs:
+  :example:
+    dns_class: gcp-clouddns
+    project: jake-vmpooler-dev
+    domain: vmpooler.example.com
+    zone_name: vmpooler-example-com
+```
+
+Then any pools that should have records created via the dns config above should now reference the named dns config in the `dns_plugin` key:
+
+```yaml
+:pools:
+  - name: 'debian-11-x86_64'
+    dns_plugin: 'example'
+```
+
+For complete examples on how to use the GCP DNS plugin see [vmpooler-dns-gcp](https://github.com/puppetlabs/vmpooler-dns-gcp).

 ### DNS

 - if using DNS, a DNS zone needs to be created in CloudDNS, and configured in the provider's config section with the name of that zone (dns_zone_resource_name). When not specified, the DNS setup and teardown is skipped.
 
+## Update the Gemfile Lock
+
+To update the `Gemfile.lock` run `./update-gemfile-lock`.
+
+Verify, and update if needed, that the docker tag in the script and GitHub action workflows matches what is used in the [vmpooler-deployment Dockerfile](https://github.com/puppetlabs/vmpooler-deployment/blob/main/docker/Dockerfile).
+
+## Releasing
+
+Follow these steps to publish a new GitHub release, and build and push the gem to <https://rubygems.org>.
+
+1. Bump the "VERSION" in `lib/vmpooler-provider-gce/version.rb` appropriately based on changes in `CHANGELOG.md` since the last release.
+2. Run `./release-prep` to update `Gemfile.lock` and `CHANGELOG.md`.
+3. Commit and push changes to a new branch, then open a pull request against `main` and be sure to add the "maintenance" label.
+4. After the pull request is approved and merged, then navigate to Actions --> Release Gem --> run workflow --> Branch: main --> Run workflow.
