-## Overview
-
-This extension currently offers two modes of operation: (1) the AWS connection proxy, and (2) the resource replicator CLI.
-
-## AWS Connection Proxy
+## AWS Cloud Proxy
 
-The AWS connection proxy can be used to forward certain API calls in LocalStack to real AWS, in order to enable seamless transition between local and remote resources.

 **Warning:** Be careful when using the proxy - make sure to _never_ give access to production accounts or any critical/sensitive data!
 
-**Note:** The replicator CLI currently works only when installing the `localstack` CLI via `pip`. If you're downloading the `localstack` CLI as a [binary release](https://docs.localstack.cloud/getting-started/installation/#localstack-cli), then please use the proxy configuration UI described below.

 **Note:** Due to some recent changes in the core framework, make sure to start up your LocalStack container with the `GATEWAY_SERVER=hypercorn` configuration enabled, for backwards compatibility. This will be fixed in an upcoming release.
 
-## Resource Replicator CLI

-The figure below illustrates how the extension can be used to replicate the state, e.g., an SQS queue and the messages contained in it, from AWS into your LocalStack instance.

+## Resource Replicator CLI (deprecated)
 
-To use the resource replicator, make sure that you have access to AWS configured in your terminal. Note: the extension will only talk to AWS in read-only mode, and will **not** make any changes to your real AWS account.
+Note: Previous versions of this extension also offered a "replicate" mode to copy/clone (rather than proxy) resources from an AWS account into the local instance.
+This functionality has been removed from this extension, and is now being migrated to a new extension (more details following soon).
 
-The following command can be used to replicate SQS queues (incl. their messages) into your LocalStack instance:
-```
-$ localstack aws replicate -s sqs
-```
-
-Once the command has completed, you should be able to list and interact with the queue that was replicated into your local account:
-```
-$ awslocal sqs list-queues
-...
-$ awslocal sqs receive-message --queue-url ...
-...
-```
-
-## Installing
-
-To install the CLI extension, use the following `pip` command:
-```bash
-pip install "git+https://github.com/localstack/localstack-extensions/#egg=localstack-extension-aws-replicator&subdirectory=aws-replicator"
-```
-
-To install the extension itself (server component running inside LocalStack), use the following `extensions` command:
-```bash
-localstack extensions install "git+https://github.com/localstack/localstack-extensions/#egg=localstack-extension-aws-replicator&subdirectory=aws-replicator"
-```
+If you wish to access the deprecated instructions, they can be found [here](https://github.com/localstack/localstack-extensions/blob/fe0c97e8a9d94f72c80358493e51ce6c1da535dc/aws-replicator/README.md#resource-replicator-cli).
