+The structure is being reworked. This page is an introduction to DEA
+and DHA.
+
+Introduction
+
+The aim of the deployment prototype is to try out a (hopefully)
+logical setup to support Fuel deployment on a variety of different
+hardware platforms using a common data format to describe the
+deployment itself and another data format to describe the hardware in
+question.
+
+DEA.yaml The DEA.yaml file describes a Fuel deployment, complete with
+ all settings. The easiest way to create this file is to use
+ the "create_templates.sh" script in an existing deployment to
+ copy its configuration to the DEA.yaml file.
+
+DHA.yaml The DHA.yaml file describes to hardware setup for an
+ installation. This file denotes among other things which DHA
+ adapter to use when deploying Fuel on this hardware setup.
+
+DHA adapter interface: The DHA adapter interface contains a number of
+ functions calls available to the automatic Fuel deployer script
+ (deploy.sh). Each adapter creates an implementation of this
+ interface in order for the deployer to orchestrate the
+ installation. There's currently an example DHA adapter "libvirt"
+ that is able to deploy Fuel in a nested KVM environment. Future
+ adapters could support HP C7000, Dell R620 or other types of
+ hardware.
+
+ It is important to note that a certain DHA adapter could implement
+ the dha_fuelCustomInstall() function, which for instance could
+ install the Fuel master as a VM or using PXE.
+
+A typical installation would be kicked off by the following command:
+
+./deploy.sh <isofile to deploy> <dea.yaml> <dha.yaml>
