 New **Node.js** releases are released as soon as possible.
 
-New **NPM** releases are not tracked. We simply use the NPM version bundled in the corresponding Node.js release.
-
-**Yarn** is updated to the latest version only when there is a new Node.js SemVer PATCH release (unless Yarn has received a security update), and it's updated only in the branch with the new release, preferably in the same PR. The `update.sh` script does this automatically when invoked with a specific branch, e.g. `./update.sh 6.10`.
+New package manager releases are not tracked. We simply use the versions provided by [Corepack](https://github.com/nodejs/corepack).

 ## Image Variants
 
 The `node` images come in many flavors, each designed for a specific use case.
-All of the images contain pre-installed versions of `node`,
-[`npm`](https://www.npmjs.com/), and [`yarn`](https://yarnpkg.com). For each
-supported architecture, the supported variants are different. In the file:
-[versions.json](./versions.json), it lists all supported variants for all of

-## Global npm dependencies
-
-If you need to install global npm dependencies, it is recommended to place those dependencies in the [non-root user](#non-root-user) directory. To achieve this, add the following line to your `Dockerfile`
+## Package Managers
 
-```Dockerfile
-ENV NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=/home/node/.npm-global

+Just use your package managers as you usually would.
+They will be automatically installed by [Corepack](https://github.com/nodejs/corepack), which is enabled by default.
 
-## Upgrading/downgrading Yarn
+Corepack downloads your package managers the first time you use them.
+It honors the [`packageManager` field of your `package.json`](https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#packagemanager)
+if defined.
 
-### Local
-
-If you need to upgrade/downgrade `yarn` for a local install, you can do so by issuing the following commands in your `Dockerfile`:
-
-> Note that if you create some other directory which is not a descendant one from where you ran the command, you will end up using the global (dated) version. If you wish to upgrade `yarn` globally follow the instructions in the next section.
-
-> When following the local install instructions, due to duplicated yarn the image will end up being bigger.
-
-```Dockerfile
-FROM node:6
+As many production environments don't have network access,
+you probably want to bundle your package managers in your Docker image.
 
-ENV YARN_VERSION 1.16.0
+To do so, add the following line to your `Dockerfile`:
 
-RUN yarn policies set-version $YARN_VERSION
 ```
-
-### Global
-
-```Dockerfile
