+## Partial configs for SR OS
+
+Containerlab now supports partial configs for SR OS. This means you can now provide CLI snippets that will be added to the default config. A very useful feature when you want to add a few things to the config, and you don't want to copy the whole config to your lab. #1249
+
+We believe this will make your lab repos cleaner and easier to maintain.
+
+=== "Topology"
+    ```yaml
+    name: sros_lab
+    topology:
+      nodes:
+        sros:
+          kind: vr-sros
+          startup-config: myconfig.partial.txt
+    ```
+=== "`myconfig.partial.txt`"
+    ```
+    configure {
+        router "Base" {
+            static-routes {
+                route 192.168.200.200/32 route-type unicast {
+                    next-hop "192.168.0.1" {
+                        admin-state enable
+                    }
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+
+The partial config can be provided as a [local file](../manual/kinds/vr-sros.md#partial-startup-config), [remote URL](../manual/kinds/vr-sros.md#remote-partial-files) or even [embedded](../manual/kinds/vr-sros.md#embedded-partial-files), yay!
+
+Learn more about partial configs for SR OS [here](../manual/kinds/vr-sros.md#user-defined-config).
+
+## Embedded startup-configs
+
+The changes made for allowing SR OS to have partial configs also allowed all other nodes to enjoy embedding startup-configs into the topology file.
+
+For example, this is a perfectly valid way to provide partial config for a Nokia SR Linux node:
+
+```yaml
+name: srl
+
+topology:
+  nodes:
+    srl:
+      kind: nokia_srlinux
+      image: ghcr.io/nokia/srlinux:22.11.2
+      startup-config: |
+        system information location "I am embedded config"
+```
+
+## Node filtering
+
+One of the most requested features is finally there. Users wanted to be able to deploy only a subset of nodes defined in their topology file. Usually, this was driven by the need to control the resource usage of the lab and optimize the deployment time.
+
+Containerlab now allows users to provide a list of nodes to deploy, destroy, save, and graph commands to scope the operation to only those nodes. #1298
+
+Check out [Node Filtering docs](../manual/node-filtering.md) for details.
+
+## CPU and Memory setting for SR OS nodes
+
+With [hellt/vrnetlab](https://github.com/hellt/vrnetlab/releases/tag/v0.10.1) release v0.10.1 we support setting the CPU and Memory for SR OS nodes.
+
+Before that feature was available, the CPU and Memory were set to the default values for a particular SR OS variant. This was not ideal as requirements change over time and when resources are underprovisioned, the node may not be able to start.
+
+Now you can set the CPU and Memory for SR OS nodes directly in the topology file:
+
+```yaml
+# distrubuted node
+    sr:
+      kind: vr-sros
+      type: sr-1e
+      license: sros22.lic
+      env:
+        CP_MEMORY: 6 # CPM MEM
+        CP_CPU: 4    # CPM CPU
+        LC_MEMORY: 6 # Line card MEM
+        LC_CPU: 4    # Line card CPU
+
+# integrated
+    sr:
+      kind: vr-sros
+      type: sr-1
+      license: sros22.lic
+      env:
+        MEMORY: 6
+        CPU: 4
+```
+
+## RARE joins Containerlab
+
+We are happy to announce that [RARE](../manual/kinds/rare-freertr.md) Network OS is now supported by Containerlab. RARE stands for Router for Academia, Research & Education.
+
+## Securely connecting to labs with Border0 (experimental)
+
+With mysocketio rebranding to border0 we had to revisit APIs for creating secured remote access to labs. This is an experimental feature and is not yet fully supported. Please see [this](../manual/published-ports.md) page for more details. #1131
