 # Terraform Registry
 
-The [Terraform Registry](https://registry.terraform.io) is an interactive resource for discovering a wide selection of integrations (Providers) and configuration packages (Modules) for use with Terraform. The Registry includes solutions developed by HashiCorp, Third-party vendors, and those created by our Terraform community. The Registry aims to connect our users with solutions, and to help new users get started with Terraform more quickly, by sharing examples of how Terraform is written, and find pre-made modules for infrastructure components you require.

The Registry includes solutions developed by HashiCorp, third-party vendors, and our Terraform community. Our goal with the Registry is to provide plugins to manage any infrastructure API, pre-made modules to quickly configure common infrastructure components, and examples of how to write quality Terraform code.

 ## User Account
 
-Anyone interested in publishing a Provider or Module can create an account and sign in to the Terraform Registry using a GitHub account. Choose Sign-in, and follow the login prompts. Once you have authorized the use of your GitHub account and are signed in, you are able to publish both Providers and Modules, directly from one of the Repositories you manage. To learn more, see [Publishing to the Registry](https://www.terraform.io/docs/registry/providers/publishing.html).

 # Overview
 
- The Registry offers both a place for users to find Providers, and also acts as the Public origin source for Terraform, meaning that all published providers are directly available from within the Terraform CLI. Providers are how Terraform integrates with any upstream API, whether another HashiCorp technology, or the many hundreds of third-party services that Terraform integrates with today. Creating a Provider is designed to be easy and intuitive, and the Registry is here to help you share it with the rest of the community.
+Providers are how Terraform integrates with any upstream API.
+
+The Terraform Registry is the main source for publicly available Terraform providers. It offers a browsable and searchable interface for finding providers, and makes it possible for Terraform CLI to automatically install any of the providers it hosts.
+
+If you want Terraform to support a new infrastructure service, you can create your own provider using Terraform's Go SDK. Once you've developed a provider, you can use the Registry to share it with the rest of the community.
+
+## Using Providers From the Registry
+
+The Registry is directly integrated with Terraform. To use any provider from the Registry, all you need to do is require it within your Terraform configuration; Terraform can then automatically install that provider when initializing a working directory, and your configuration can take advantage of any resources implemented by that provider.

 ## Provider Tiers & Namespaces
 
-Terraform Providers are published and maintained by a variety of sources, including HashiCorp, HashiCorp Technology Partners, and the Terraform Community. Tiers and Badges are used in the Registry to denote the source of the Provider. Additionally, namespaces are used to help users identify the organization or publisher responsible for the integration, as shown in the table below.
