+**Script for Setting Up 1-node Kubernetes Cluster**
+
+The it/dep repo can be used for generating a simple script that can help setting up a
+one-node Kubernetes cluster for dev and testing purposes. Related files are under the
+**tools/k8s/bin** directory. Clone the repository on the target VM:
+
+::
+
+ % git clone https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/it/dep
+
+
+**Configurations**
+
+The generation of the script reads in the parameters from the following files:
+
+- etc/env.rc: Normally no change needed for this file. If where the Kubernetes cluster runs
+ has special requirements, such as running private Docker registry with self-signed certificates,
+ or hostnames that can be only resolved via private /etc/hosts entries, such parameters are
+ entered into this file.
+- etc/infra.rc: This file specifies the docker host, Kubernetes, and Kubernetes CNI versions.
+ If a version is left empty, the installation will use the default version that the OS package
+ management software would install.
+- etc/openstack.rc: If the Kubernetes cluster is deployed on Open Stack VMs, this file specifies
+ parameters for accessing the APIs of the Open Stack installation. This is not supported in Amber
+ release yet.
+
+
+**Generating Set-up Script**
+
+After the configurations are updated, the following steps will create a script file that can be
+used for setting up a one-node Kubernetes cluster. You must run this command on a Linux machine
+with the 'envsubst' command installed.
+
+::
+
+ % cd tools/k8s/bin
+ % ./gen-cloud-init.sh
+
+A file named **k8s-1node-cloud-init.sh** would now appear under the bin directory.
+
+
+**Setting up Kubernetes Cluster**
+
+The new **k8s-1node-cloud-init.sh** file is now ready for setting up the Kubernetes cluster.
+
+It can be run from a root shell of an existing Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 VM. Running this script
+will replace any existing installation of Docker host, Kubernetes, and Helm on the VM. The
+script will reboot the machine upon successful completion. Run the script like this:
+
+::
+
+ % sudo -i
+ # ./k8s-1node-cloud-init.sh
+
+This script can also be used as the user-data (a.k.a. cloud-init script) supplied to Open Stack
+when launching a new Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 VM.
+
+Upon successful execution of the script and reboot of the machine, when queried in a root shell
+with the kubectl command the VM should display information similar to below:
+
+::
+
+ # kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
+ NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
