-## Configuring Polaris for Production
+The default server configuration is intended for development and testing. When you deploy Polaris in production,
+review and apply the following checklist:
+- [ ] Configure OAuth2 keys
+- [ ] Enforce realm header validation (`require-header=true`)
+- [ ] Use a durable metastore (JDBC + PostgreSQL)
+- [ ] Bootstrap valid realms in the metastore
+- [ ] Disable local FILE storage
 
-The default server configuration is intended for development and testing. When deploying Polaris in
-production, there are several best practices to keep in mind.

-Notable configuration used to secure a Polaris deployment are outlined below.

-## Other Configurations
-
-When deploying Polaris in production, consider adjusting the following configurations:
-
-#### `polaris.features."SUPPORTED_CATALOG_STORAGE_TYPES"`
-
-- By default, Polaris catalogs are allowed to be located in local filesystem with the `FILE` storage
-  type. This should be disabled for production systems.
-- Use this configuration to additionally disable any other storage types that will not be in use.
+### Disable FILE Storage Type
+By default, Polaris allows using the local file system (`FILE`) for catalog storage. This is fine for testing,
+but **not recommended for production**. To disable it, set the supported storage types like this:
+```hocon
+polaris.features."SUPPORTED_CATALOG_STORAGE_TYPES" = [ "S3", "Azure" ]
+```
+Leave out `FILE` to prevent its use. Only include the storage types your setup needs.
