Best way to control displacement strength (Make it 'ease in' from the side of my mesh)

I have this plane on which I put a displacement modfier (cloud noise based texture).
Im looking for a way to ‘ease in’ the displacement effect from the sides…So the side dont have any displacement, and the effect gets stronger as it leaves the side…

I know there’s an option to use a color ramp to control the strengths of the displacement… but I dont know how to use this

Or, can you weighpaint displacement effect? That would work aswell

Any advice is apprectiated. Thanks!

Use vertex groups:

Like many modifiers, you can use a vertex group to effect what parts of the mesh the group effects…

Create a vertex group, go to weight paint mode and paint the center red fading to blue along the edge, and then in the modifier, select your vertex group in the appropriate box.
