 docker-compose -f PubSubStandard_singleNode.yml up -d
 ```
 The Compose template runs a message broker named `pubSubStandardSingleNode`, using the `latest` PubSub+ Standard image pulled from Docker Hub, creates an `admin` user with global access permissions, and publishes the following message broker container ports to the same ports on the host:
-* port 8080—enables [SEMP](https://docs.solace.com/SEMP/Using-SEMP.htm) management traffic to the container. Use this port when connecting to the container using the  [PubSub+ Manager](https://docs.solace.com/Solace-PubSub-Manager/PubSub-Manager-Overview.htm).
-* port 55555—enables [SMF](https://docs.solace.com/Messaging-Basics/SMF-Topics.htm) data to pass through the container. 
-To use additional services, you can edit the compose template to publish each corresponding port. For example, to  enable AMQP over TLS, uncomment the appropriate line in the compose template (`- '5671:5671'`). For more information about the default ports used for each service, refer to [Software Message Broker Configuration Defaults](https://docs.solace.com/Configuring-and-Managing/SW-Broker-Specific-Config/SW-Broker-Configuration-Defaults.htm).

 ## Next Steps
 You now have a message broker Docker container with a basic configuration that is ready for messaging tasks.
 
-There are additional configuration tasks you can make use of in the following topics:
-* [Software Message Broker Configuration Defaults](https://docs.solace.com/Configuring-and-Managing/SW-Broker-Specific-Config/SW-Broker-Configuration-Defaults.htm)—Go through the default port numbers for message broker services.
-* [Scaling Tiers for Software Message Brokers](https://docs.solace.com/Configuring-and-Managing/SW-Broker-Specific-Config/Configuring-Conn-Scale-Tiers.htm)—Learn about message broker connection scaling tiers.
-* [Docker Image Specific Topics](https://docs.solace.com/Configuring-and-Managing/SW-Broker-Specific-Config/Docker-Tasks/Container-Configuration-Tasks.htm)—Learn to prepare the message broker Docker container for a variety of messaging functions.
-
-Also, in order to fully utilize the message broker's features, you should familiarize yourself with the configuration operations common to both Solace PubSub+ software message brokers and appliances. For information, see the topics in the [Configuration](https://docs.solace.com/Configuration.htm) section.
+To familiarize yourself with the some of the features of PubSub+ software message brokers and appliances, see [Best Practices](https://docs.solace.com/best-practices.htm) and the [Feature Index](https://docs.solace.com/feature-index.htm).
 
 When you are feeling comfortable with your message broker, you can test messaging using the [Solace SDKPerf](https://docs.solace.com/SDKPerf/SDKPerf.htm?Highlight=SDKperf#Quick) application. You can download SDKPerf from the dev.solace.com [Downloads](https://dev.solace.com/downloads/) page.
