+=================
+ Ceph Deployment
+=================
+
+The ``ceph-deploy`` tool is a way to deploy Ceph relying only upon SSH access to
+the servers, ``sudo``, and some Python. It runs on your workstation, and does
+not require servers, databases, or any other tools. If you set up and
+tear down Ceph clusters a lot, and want minimal extra bureaucracy,
+``ceph-deploy`` is an ideal tool. The ``ceph-deploy`` tool is not a generic
+deployment system. It was designed exclusively for Ceph users who want to get
+Ceph up and running quickly with sensible initial configuration settings without
+the overhead of installing Chef, Puppet or Juju. Users who want fine-control
+over security settings, partitions or directory  locations should use a tool
+such as Juju, Puppet, `Chef`_ or Crowbar. 
+
+
+With ``ceph-deploy``, you can develop scripts to install Ceph packages on remote
+hosts, create a cluster, add monitors, gather (or forget) keys, add OSDs and
+metadata servers, configure admin hosts, and tear down the clusters.
