 Additional configuration steps to configure amphorav2 provider
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-If you would like to use amphorav2 provider for load-balancer service the
-following additional steps are required.
+The amphorav2 provider driver improves control plane resiliency. Should a
+control plane host go down during a load balancer provisioning operation, an
+alternate controller can resume the in-process provisioning and complete the
+request. This solves the issue with resources stuck in PENDING_* states by
+writing info about task states in persistent backend and monitoring job claims
+via jobboard.
+
+If you would like to use amphorav2 provider with jobboard-based controller
+for load-balancer service the following additional steps are required.
+
+This provider driver can also run without jobboard and its dependencies (extra
+database, Redis/Zookeeper). This is the default setting while jobboard remains
+an experimental feature.

+    Added a new configuration setting (``[task_flow]/jobboard_enabled``) to
+    enable/disable jobboard functionality in the amphorav2 provider. When
+    disabled, the amphorav2 provider behaves similarly to the amphora v1
+    provider and does not require extra dependencies. The default setting is
+    jobboard disabled while jobboard remains an experimental feature.
