 # Kata Containers packaging
 
-This repository is used to generate packages for Kata Containers components.
+Kata Containers currently supports packages for many distributions. Tooling to aid in creating these
+packages are contained within this repository.
+
+In addition, Kata build artifacts are available within a container image, created by a
+[Dockerfile](kata-deploy/Dockerfile).  Reference daemonsets are provided in [kata-deploy](kata-deploy),
+which make installation of Kata Containers in a running Kubernetes Cluster very straightforward.

+
+
+[kata-deploy](kata-deploy) provides a Dockerfile, which contains all of the binaries
+and artifacts required to run Kata Containers, as well as reference daemonsets, which can
+be utilized to install Kata Containers on a running Kubernetes cluster.
+
+Note, installation through daemonsets only succesfully installs `kata-containers.io/kata-runtime` on
+a node if it uses either containerd or CRI-O CRI-shims.
+
+## Quick start:
+
+### Install Kata on a running Kubernetes cluster
+
+```
+kubectl apply -f kata-rbac.yaml
+kubectl apply -f kata-deploy.yaml
+```
+
+### Run a sample workload
+
+Untrusted workloads can node-select based on ```kata-containers.io/kata-runtime=true```, and are
+run through ```kata-containers.io/kata-runtime``` if they are marked with the appropriate CRIO or containerd
+annotation:
+```
+CRIO:           io.kubernetes.cri-o.TrustedSandbox: "false"
+containerd:     io.kubernetes.cri.untrusted-workload: "true"
+```
+
+The following is a sample workload for running untrusted on a kata-enabled node:
+```
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: Pod
+metadata:
+  name: nginx
+   annotations:
+    io.kubernetes.cri-o.TrustedSandbox: "false"
+    io.kubernetes.cri.untrusted-workload: "true"
+  labels:
+    env: test
+spec:
+  containers:
+  - name: nginx
+    image: nginx
+    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
+  nodeSelector:
+    kata-containers.io/kata-runtime: "true"
+```    
+
+To run:
+```
+kubectl apply -f examples/nginx-untrusted.yaml
+```
+
+Now, you should see the pod start. You can verify that the pod is making use of
+```kata-containers.io/kata-runtime``` by comparing the container ID observed with the following:
+```
+/opt/kata/bin/kata-containers.io/kata-runtime list
+kubectl describe pod nginx-untrusted
+```
+
+The following removes the test pod:
+```
+kubectl delete -f examples/nginx-untrusted.yaml
+```
+
+### Remove Kata from the Kubernetes cluster
+
+```
+kubectl delete -f kata-deploy.yaml
+kubectl apply -f kata-cleanup.yaml
+kubectl delete -f kata-cleanup.yaml
+kubectl delete -f kata-rbac.yaml
+```
+
+## kata-deploy Details
+
+### Dockerfile
+
+The Dockerfile used to create the container image deployed in the DaemonSet is provided here.
+This image contains all the necessary artifacts for running Kata Containers.
+
+Host artifacts:
+* kata-containers.io/kata-runtime: pulled from Kata GitHub releases page
+* kata-proxy: pulled from Kata GitHub releases page
+* kata-shim: pulled from Kata GitHub releases page
+* qemu-system-x86_64: statically built and included in this repo, based on Kata's QEMU repo
+* qemu/* : supporting binaries required for qemu-system-x86_64
+
+Virtual Machine artifacts:
+* kata-containers.img: pulled from Kata github releases page
+* vmliuz.container: pulled from Kata github releases page
+
+### Daemonsets and RBAC:
+
+A few daemonsets are introduced for kata-deploy, as well as an RBAC to facilitate
+appyling labels to the nodes.
+
+#### runtime-labeler:
+
+This daemonset creates a label on each node in
+the cluster identifying the CRI shim in use. For example,
+`kata-containers.io/container-runtime=crio` or `kata-containers.io/container-runtime=containerd.`
+
+#### CRI-O and containerd kata installer
+
+Depending the value of `kata-containers.io/container-runtime` label on the node, either the CRI-O or
+containerd kata installation daemonset executes. These daemonsets install
+the necessary kata binaries, configuration files, and virtual machine artifacts on
+the node. Once installed, the daemonset adds a node label `kata-containers.io/kata-runtime=true` and reconfigures
+either CRI-O or containerd to make use of Kata for untrusted workloads. As a final step the daemonset
+restarts either CRI-O or containerd and kubelet. Upon deletion, the daemonset removes the kata binaries
+and VM artifacts and updates the node label to `kata-containers.io/kata-runtime=cleanup.`
+
+### Kata cleanup:
+This daemonset runs of the node has the label `kata-containers.io/kata-runtime=cleanup.` This daemonsets removes
+the `kata-containers.io/container-runtime` and `kata-containers.io/kata-runtime` labels as well as restarts either CRI-O or containerd systemctl
+daemon and kubelet. You cannot execute these restets during the preStopHook of the Kata installer daemonset,
+which necessitated this final cleanup daemonset.
