+Simulators
+==========
+
+Simulators are regularly created for use cases. The goal of this section is to:
+
+- Highlight the existing Simulators
+- Provide recommendations when starting developing a new simulator
+
+.. important::
+    Before developing a new simulator, check that it does not exist...and
+    refactor/contribute to existing simulators rather than recreating new ones.

+From this repository, create a jenkins job to automatically build the dockers.
+
+Helm Chart
+..........
+
+It is recommended to create a helm chart in order to run the simulators.
