+Abstract
+========
+
+This document compiles the release notes for the Euphrates release of
+OPNFV when using JOID as a deployment tool for Kubernets and load balancer.
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+These notes provides release information for the use of joid as deployment
+tool for the Euphrates release of OPNFV for Kubernets and load balancer
+scenario.
+
+The goal of the Euphrates release and this JOID based deployment process is
+to establish a lab ready platform accelerating further development
+of the OPNFV infrastructure for docker based workloads.
+
+Carefully follow the installation-instructions which guides a user to deploy
+OPNFV using JOID which is based on MAAS and Juju.
+
+Summary
+=======
+
+Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and
+management of containerized applications.
+
+This is a Kubernetes cluster that includes logging, monitoring, and operational
+knowledge. It is comprised of the following components and features:
+
+Kubernetes (automated deployment, operations, and scaling)
+ TLS used for communication between nodes for security.
+ A CNI plugin (e.g., Flannel, Ovn)
+ A load balancer for HA kubernetes-master (Experimental)
+ Optional Ingress Controller (on worker)
+ Optional Dashboard addon (on master) including Heapster for cluster monitoring
+
+EasyRSA
+ Performs the role of a certificate authority serving self signed certificates
+ to the requesting units of the cluster.
+
+Etcd (distributed key value store)
+ Minimum Three node cluster for reliability.
+
+Euphrates release with the JOID deployment with Kubernetes with load balancer will establish an
+OPNFV target system on a Pharos compliant lab infrastructure.
+
+NOTE: Detailed information on how to install in your lab can be find in installation guide
+command to deploy load balancer feature is:
+
+#Kubernetes deployment with Load Balancer
+./deploy.sh -m kubernetes -f lb -l custom -s nosdn
+
+Using Kubernetes after Deployment
+=================================
+
+Once you have finished installinf the JOID with Kubernetes with load balancer you can use the
+following command to test the deployment.
+
+To deploy 5 replicas of the microbot web application inside the Kubernetes
+cluster run the following command:
+
+juju run-action kubernetes-worker/0 microbot replicas=5
+
+This action performs the following steps:
+
+It creates a deployment titled 'microbots' comprised of 5 replicas defined
+during the run of the action. It also creates a service named 'microbots'
+which binds an 'endpoint', using all 5 of the 'microbots' pods.
+Finally, it will create an ingress resource, which points at a
+xip.io domain to simulate a proper DNS service.
+
+Running the packaged example
+
+You can run a Juju action to create an example microbot web application:
+
+$ juju run-action kubernetes-worker/0 microbot replicas=3
+Action queued with id: db7cc72b-5f35-4a4d-877c-284c4b776eb8
+
+$ juju show-action-output db7cc72b-5f35-4a4d-877c-284c4b776eb8
+results:
+ address: microbot.104.198.77.197.xip.io
+status: completed
+timing:
+ completed: 2016-09-26 20:42:42 +0000 UTC
+ enqueued: 2016-09-26 20:42:39 +0000 UTC
+ started: 2016-09-26 20:42:41 +0000 UTC
+Note: Your FQDN will be different and contain the address of the cloud
+instance.
+At this point, you can inspect the cluster to observe the workload coming
+online.
