 # TODO: Please choose a random hour for nodepool image updates.
 # This will help reduce the load on upstream git farms & mirros where all 3rd
 # party ci systems start building images at the same time.
-# Doing so is easy: update the first '17' below with a random number between 0 to 23
+# Doing so is easy, run the following command and replace image-update string
