+## IMPORTANT NOTICE
+Starting with VCF release 9.0.0.0, the vSphere Automation Python SDK repository now includes only the NSX on-prem libraries.
+
+Please use the official [VCF Python SDK](https://github.com/vmware/vcf-sdk-python).
+
 ## Abstract
 This document describes the vSphere Automation Python SDK samples that use the vSphere Automation
 python client library. Additionally, some of the samples demonstrate the combined use of the
 vSphere Automation and vSphere APIs. To support this combined use, the vSphere Automation Python SDK
 samples require the vSphere Management SDK packages (pyVmomi) to be installed on the client.
-The samples have been developed to work with python 3.8+
