+## OpenObserve deployment modes
+
+This chart includes two OpenObserve Helm chart dependencies:
+
+- **`openobserve-standalone`** — A single-node deployment that uses local disk storage. This is enabled by default and suitable for most use cases.
+- **`openobserve`** — A distributed, high-availability (HA) deployment with separate components (router, ingester, querier, etc.) that requires object storage (e.g. S3, MinIO). This is disabled by default.
+
 Install this module in your OpenChoreo cluster using:
 
 ```bash
 helm upgrade --install observability-logs-openobserve \
   oci://ghcr.io/openchoreo/helm-charts/observability-logs-openobserve \
   --create-namespace \
   --namespace openchoreo-observability-plane \
-  --version 0.3.10
+  --version 0.4.0

+
+To switch to HA mode, disable the standalone chart and enable the distributed chart:

+helm upgrade --install observability-logs-openobserve \
