+We have a wide variety of samples to choose from:
+
+* "Clustered Application Samples" and "Persistent Volume Samples" provide some
+examples that show how to implement some popular software packages such as OpenShift, Ceph, Cassandra, and WordPress. These guides 
+try to serve as canonical walkthroughs that help you use familiar packages with Kubernetes.
+
+* "Mulit-tier Application Samples" are generally of a more contrived and instructional nature, highlighting key concepts that
+you'll encounter when developing with Kubernetes, and teaching some principles of building Kubernetes applications.
+
+## Recently updated samples
+
+The Kubernetes team is highlighting these samples as being the most up-to-date. Active upkeep is being done or has recently been done
+on these samples to ensure they are high quality and work on Kubernetes {{page.version}}.
