+  <h4><Badge color="blue">Improvement</Badge> [Updated Serverless endpoint creation flow](https://docs.runpod.io/serverless/endpoints/overview) </h4> The endpoint creation flow now offers six deployment paths — Hello World, Hugging Face LLM, Docker, GitHub, Flash, and Hub (which replaces the previous "Ready-to-Deploy Repos" option). Each path walks you through the   right setup for your use case.
 
-  New tutorial covering how to pull container images from private AWS ECR repositories into Runpod Pods using cross-account IAM delegation. Includes configuring ECR repository policies, adding ECR credentials in the Runpod console, and deploying a Pod with a private image, without managing credentials directly.

 1. Navigate to the [Serverless section](https://www.console.runpod.io/serverless) and click **New Endpoint**.
-2. Choose your deployment source:
-   - **Import Git Repository**: See [Deploy from GitHub](/serverless/workers/github-integration)
-   - **Import from Docker Registry**: See [Deploy from Docker Hub](/serverless/workers/deploy)
-   - **Ready-to-Deploy Repos**: Select a preconfigured endpoint
-3. Configure your endpoint:
-   - **Endpoint Name** and **Type** (Queue-based or Load balancer)
-   - **GPU Configuration** and worker settings
+2. Choose your deployment path:
+   - **Hello World**: Runpod forks a starter worker template into a new GitHub repo in your account. Choose Queue-based or Load balancing, then click **Deploy**.
+   - **Hugging Face LLM**: Search for any text-generation model on Hugging Face (for example, type "Gemma" to find Gemma 4), select it, and click **Create Endpoint**. Runpod deploys a vLLM endpoint for you.
+   - **Docker**: Deploy from a container image. Select a saved Serverless template to fill in the container configuration automatically, or skip the template and enter an image name manually. See [Deploy from Docker](/serverless/workers/deploy).
+   - **GitHub**: Select a repository, filtering by code owner if needed. Runpod checks for a Dockerfile and runs a background check on your handler: queue-based endpoints check for handler files, and load balancing endpoints check for a `/ping` path. See [Deploy from GitHub](/serverless/workers/github-integration).
+   - **Hub**: Opens the Hub browser, where you can browse and deploy prebuilt workers. This replaces the previous "Ready-to-Deploy Repos" option. See [Hub overview](/hub/overview).
+   - **Flash**: A guided setup flow for [Flash](/flash/overview) that walks you through installing the SDK, initializing your project, and sending your first command. Steps complete automatically as you progress.
+3. For the GitHub, Docker, and Hello World paths, configure your endpoint before deploying:
+   - **Endpoint name** and **type** ([Queue-based](/flash/create-endpoints#queue-based-endpoints) or [Load balancing](/flash/create-endpoints#load-balanced-endpoints))
+   - **GPU** configuration and worker scaling
    - **Model** (optional): Enter a Hugging Face URL for [cached models](/serverless/endpoints/model-caching)
-   - **Environment Variables**: See [environment variables](/serverless/development/environment-variables)
+   - **Environment variables** and container configuration. See [environment variables](/serverless/development/environment-variables).
 4. Click **Deploy Endpoint**.
