+# THIS REPOSITORY HAS BEEN ARCHIVED, see [issue 187](https://github.com/eclipse/kuksa.cloud/issues/187) for details.
+
+We used this repository to collect code, deployments, and best practices for interacting with the In-Vehicle stack of Eclipse Kuksa.
+
+However, the development of the Eclipse Kuksa project has shifted towards the Eclipse Kuksa Databroker. Because of that, the transport of VSS-based data or the development and distribution of vehicle applications are not in the scope of Eclipse Kuksa anymore.
