+Convert Official Image to a Local Atlas Deployment
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+If you have an existing |service| implementation running in Docker Compose that 
+you have built with the official `mongo <https://hub.docker.com/_/mongo>`__ Docker 
+image, you can refer to the following checklist to simplify converting it to 
+the `mongodb-atlas-local <https://hub.docker.com/r/mongodb/mongodb-atlas-local>`__ image.
+
+1. Remove any existing ``command`` from your ``docker-compose.yaml`` file. Because 
+   the ``command`` in a Docker Compose definition overrides the ``ENTRYPOINT`` 
+   defined in the ``mongodb-atlas-local`` image, you must remove any existing 
+   ``command`` for the ``mongodb-atlas-local`` image to run as designed. 
+
+2. There is no need to define a health check for the |service| deployment, as this 
+   feature is built in to the ``mongodb-atlas-local`` image. 
+
+Example Docker Compose Updates
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+The following examples illustrate the likely required changes to your Docker 
+Compose YAML file:

+       image: mongo:8.0
+       ports:

+       command: ["./entrypoint.sh"]  # You may have defined a health check for the database in the entrypoint script.

+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   services:
+     local_dev_atlas:
+       image: mongodb/mongodb-atlas-local:8.0
