+Pack a Pro-compliant |artifact|
+===============================
+
+.. Begin overview
+
+Follow this guide to pack |an-artifact| that contains extended security patches or meets
+regulatory compliance needs.
+
+.. End overview
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+- An Ubuntu Pro system (https://ubuntu.com/pro)
+- LXD version 5.21 or higher installed (https://documentation.ubuntu.com/lxd/)
+- |app| version |app-min-pro-version| or higher installed (|app-link|)
+
+Enable guest attachment
+-----------------------
+
+|app| makes use of Ubuntu Pro’s own support for LXD instances, but this support needs
+to be explicitly enabled and configured. In a terminal, run:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ sudo pro config set lxd_guest_attach=available
+
+This command lets |app| attach its LXD instances to the system’s Pro subscription,
+and only needs to be executed once.
+
+Restart LXD so the new configuration takes effect:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ sudo snap restart lxd
+
+Identify the required Pro services
+----------------------------------
+
+Next, determine which Pro services fit your needs. |app| supports the following services:
+
+- ``esm-apps`` or ``esm-infra``: If your goal is to pack |an-artifact| for an application and
+ include the latest security patches for a base that is no longer under Standard Security
+ Maintenance.
+- ``fips``, ``fips-updates`` or ``fips-preview``: If you need to deploy |an-artifact| in a
+ highly regulated environment that processes sensitive data.
+
+The desired Pro services must be available. On a system with your Pro token
+attached, run ``pro status`` and check the ``ENTITLED`` column for available
+services. The Ubuntu Pro Client documentation has `detailed information on each service
+`__.
+
+Pack the |artifact|
+-------------------
+
+Pack your Pro-compliant |artifact| with the ``pack`` command, listing the desired
+services with the ``--pro`` option:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+ :substitutions:
+
+ |app-command| pack --pro=
+
+To use multiple services, pass them to the option as comma-separated values. For example,
+to pack |an-artifact| with the ``esm-apps`` and ``esm-infra`` services call:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+ :substitutions:
+
+ |app-command| pack --pro=esm-apps,esm-infra
+
+|app| will automatically attach the Pro subscription and enable the requested services on
+the LXD instance while packing the |artifact|.
