+
+The ric-plt/dbaas repo provides all the needed elements to deploy database as
+a service (Dbaas) to kubernetes. Dbaas service is realized with a single
+container running Redis database. The database is configured to be
+non-persistent and non-redundant.
+
+For the time being Dbaas only allowed usage is to provide database backend
+service for Shared Data Layer (SDL).
