+StorPerf Installation Guide
+===========================
+
+OpenStack Prerequisites
+===========================
+If you do not have an Ubuntu 16.04 image in Glance, you will need to add one.
+There are scripts in storperf/ci directory to assist, or you can use the follow
+code snippets:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # Put an Ubuntu Image in glance
+    wget -q https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/16.04/release/ubuntu-16.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img
+    openstack image create "Ubuntu 16.04 x86_64" --disk-format qcow2 --public \
+        --container-format bare --file ubuntu-16.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img
+
+    # Create StorPerf flavor
+    openstack flavor create storperf \
+        --id auto \
+        --ram 8192 \
+        --disk 4 \
+        --vcpus 2
+
+
+Planning
+===========================
+
+StorPerf is delivered as a `Docker container
+<https://hub.docker.com/r/opnfv/storperf/tags/>`__.  There are two possible
+methods for installation in your environment:
+   1. Run container on Jump Host
+   2. Run container in a VM
+
+
+Running StorPerf on Jump Host
+=============================
+
+Requirements:
+
+    * Docker must be installed
+    * Jump Host must have access to the OpenStack Controller API
+    * Jump Host must have internet connectivity for downloading docker image
+    * Enough floating IPs must be available to match your agent count
+
+Running StorPerf in a VM
+========================
+
+Requirements:
+
+    * VM has docker installed
+    * VM has OpenStack Controller credentials and can communicate with the Controller API
+    * VM has internet connectivity for downloading the docker image
+    * Enough floating IPs must be available to match your agent count
+
+VM Creation
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following procedure will create the VM in your environment
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    # Create the StorPerf VM itself.  Here we use the network ID generated by OPNFV FUEL.
+    ADMIN_NET_ID=`neutron net-list | grep 'admin_internal_net ' | awk '{print $2}'`
+
+    nova boot --nic net-id=$ADMIN_NET_ID --flavor m1.small --key-name=StorPerf --image 'Ubuntu 14.04' 'StorPerf Master'
+
+At this point, you may associate a floating IP with the StorPerf master VM.
+
+VM Docker Installation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following procedure will install Docker on Ubuntu 14.04.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://p80.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-keys 58118E89F3A912897C070ADBF76221572C52609D
+    cat << EOF | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list
+    deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-trusty main
+    EOF
+
+    sudo apt-get update
+    sudo apt-get install -y docker-engine
+    sudo usermod -aG docker ubuntu
+
