+Introduction
+============
 
+This document describes the steps to install an OPNFV Bramaputra reference
+platform, as defined by the Genesis Project using the Apex installer.
+
+The audience is assumed to have a good background in networking
+and Linux administration.
+
+Preface
+=======
+
+Apex uses the RDO Manager Open Source project as a server provisioning tool.
+RDO Manager is the RDO Project implimentation of OpenStack's Triple-O project.
+The Triple-O image based life cycle installation tool provisions an OPNFV
+Target System (3 controllers, n number of compute nodes) with OPNFV specific
+configuration provided by the Apex deployment tool chain.
+
+The Apex deployment artifacts contain the necessary tools to deploy and
+configure an OPNFV target system using the Apex deployment toolchain.
+These artifacts offer the choice of using the Apex bootable ISO
+(``opnfv-apex-bramaputra.iso``) to both install CentOS 7 and the
+nessesary materials to deploy or the Apex RPM (``opnfv-apex.rpm``)
+which expects installation to a CentOS 7 libvirt enabled host. The RPM
+contains a collection of configuration file, prebuilt disk images,
+and the automatic deployment script (``opnfv-deploy``).
+
+An OPNFV install requires a "Jumphost" in order to operate.  The bootable
+ISO will allow you to install a customized CentOS 7 release to the Jumphost,
+which includes the required packages needed to run ``opnfv-deploy``.
+If you already have a Jumphost with CentOS 7 installed, you may choose to
+skip the ISO step and simply install the (``opnfv-apex.rpm``) RPM. The RPM
+is the same RPM included in the ISO and includes all the necessary disk
+images and configuration files to execute an OPNFV deployment. Either method
+will prepare a host to the same ready state for OPNFV deployment.
+
+``opnfv-deploy`` instantiates an RDO Manager Instack VM server using libvirt
+as its provider.  This VM is then configured and used to provision the
+OPNFV target deployment (3 controllers, n compute nodes).  These nodes can
+be either virtual or bare metal. This guide contains instructions for
+installing either method.
