+This directory contains YAML files which are used to track dependencies for 
+configs generated for specific RBE toolchain containers.
+
+A single dependency tracking file indicates the latest bazel version and 
+toolchain container the corresponding toolchain configs were last generated for. 
+When a new bazel versions or toolchain container version is available, the 
+dependency tracking file will be automatically updated by the config dependency 
+update service. This in turn will trigger a GCB build to generate the new 
+configs.
+
+The following is an example YAML config for the RBE Ubuntu 16.04 container.
+```yaml
+# Latest bazel version configs were generated for.
+bazel: "0.21.0"
+
+# Config version
+version: "7.0.0-r342117"
+```
+
+Note: Comments in the YAML configs will not be preserved by the dependency
+update service.
