+.. Overview of OPNFV lab infrastructure (Pharos).
+
+************************
+OPNFV Lab Infrastructure
+************************
+
+The `Pharos Project <https://www.opnfv.org/developers/pharos>`_ provides a lab infrastructure that
+is geographically and technically diverse. Labs instantiate **bare-metal** and **virtual**
+environments that are accessed remotely by the community and used for OPNFV platform and feature
+development, builds, deploys and testing. This will greatly assist in developing a highly robust and
+stable OPNFV platform with well understood performance characteristics. Community labs are hosted by
+OPNFV member companies on a voluntary basis. The Linux Foundation also hosts an OPNFV lab that
+provides centralised CI and other production resources which are linked to community labs.
+
+Future lab capabilities will include the ability easily automate deploy and test of any OPNFV
+install scenario in any lab environemnt as well as a *Virtual Lab* for developer on-boarding with
+minimal effort. :ref:`pharos_master` documents are included with this release.
