 ## Reconciliation Execution in a Nutshell
 
-Reconciliation execution is always triggered by an event. Events typically come from a
-primary resource, most of the time a custom resource, triggered by changes made to that resource
-on the server (e.g. a resource is created, updated or deleted). Reconciler implementations are
-associated with a given resource type and listens for such events from the Kubernetes API server
+An event always triggers reconciliation execution. Events typically come from a

+When we receive an event, it triggers the reconciliation unless a reconciliation is already
+underway for this particular resource. In other words, the framework guarantees that no concurrent reconciliation happens for a resource.
 
 Once the reconciliation is done, the framework checks if:
 
-- an exception was thrown during execution and if yes schedules a retry.
-- new events were received during the controller execution, if yes schedule a new reconciliation.
-- the reconcilier instructed the SDK to re-schedule a reconciliation at a later date, if yes
-  schedules a timer event with the specified delay.
-- none of the above, the reconciliation is finished.

+## Implementing a Reconciler and Cleaner interfaces
 
-The lifecycle of a Kubernetes resource can be clearly separated into two phases from the
-perspective of an operator depending on whether a resource is created or updated, or on the
-other hand if it is marked for deletion.
+To implement a reconciler, you always have to implement the [`Reconciler`](https://github.com/java-operator-sdk/java-operator-sdk/blob/main/operator-framework-core/src/main/java/io/javaoperatorsdk/operator/api/reconciler/Reconciler.java) interface.
 
-This separation-related logic is automatically handled by the framework. The framework will always
-call the `reconcile` method, unless the custom resource is
-[marked from deletion](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/finalizers/#how-finalizers-work)
-. On the other, if the resource is marked from deletion and if the `Reconciler` implements the
-`Cleaner` interface, only the `cleanup` method will be called. Implementing the `Cleaner`
-interface allows developers to let the SDK know that they are interested in cleaning related
-state (e.g. out-of-cluster resources). The SDK will therefore automatically add a finalizer
-associated with your `Reconciler` so that the Kubernetes server doesn't delete your resources
-before your `Reconciler` gets a chance to clean things up.
