+Introduction
+============
+
+These notes provides release information for the use of joid as deployment
+tool for the Euphrates release of OPNFV for orchestra

+Carefully follow the installation-instructions which guides a user to deploy
+OPNFV using JOID which is based on MAAS and Juju.
+
+Summary
+=======
+
+The OPNFV Orchestra project integrates the upstream open source Open Baton project within OPNFV.
+Open Baton is the result of an agile design process having as major objective the development
+of an extensible and customizable framework capable of orchestrating network services across
+heterogeneous NFV Infrastructures.
+
+Euphrates release with the JOID deployment enables deployment of orchestra
+ on a Pharos compliant lab infrastructure.
+
+The current definition of an OPNFV target system is based on OpenStack Ocata.
+
+ The system is deployed with OpenStack High Availability (HA) for most OpenStack services.
+
+ User has following choices to make to do the deployment.
+
+ - Openstack -- Ocata
+ - Type -- HA, nonHA, tip (stable git branch of respective openstack)
+ - Feature -- Open Baton (NFV MANO framework)
+
+NOTE: Detailed information on how to install in your lab can be find in installation guide
+command to deploy orchestra feature is:
+
+#Orchestra deployment with no HA Openstack
+./deploy.sh -o ocata -m openstack -f openbaton -s nosdn -t nonha
+
+#Orchestra deployment with no HA Openstack
+./deploy.sh -o ocata -m openstack -f openbaton -s nosdn -t ha
