+
+## Creating dependabot config yaml for this repo
+
+To use the most current versions and mitigate vulnerable software dependencies and base images, we configure dependabot for desired funtionality.
+
+* The way dependabot works as below:
+  1. We uses a script to scan the repository for directories containing files listing such dependencies, and matches the found folders to the relevant `OWNERS` files
+  2. Then it generate the `.github/dependabot.yml` file which tells dependabot which directories it needs to scan and for what package ecosystems.
+  3. When a dependency update is found, dependabot will create a pull request to update the dependency and assign the relevant owners and reviewers.
+
+To generate a new dependabot configuration when dependency listing files are moved or created, the script can be run by executing `make build-dependabot` from the root of this repository.
+
+More details about dependabot and its configuration can be found here (https://docs.github.com/en/github/managing-security-vulnerabilities/managing-vulnerabilities-in-your-projects-dependencies)
