+Resource Requirements
+---------------------
+
+To run Near Realtime RAN Controller in a dev testing setting , the minimum requirement for resources is a VM with 4 vCPUs, 16G RAM, and at least 40G of vDisk space.
+
+
+
+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 **ric-infra/00-Kubernetes** directory.
+
+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 versions 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.
+
+::
+
+ cd 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.
+
+It can also be used as the user-data (a.k.a. cloud-init script) supplicated to Open Stack when launching a new Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 VM.
+
+Upon successful execution of the script, when integrated by the kubectl command, the VM should display information similar to below:
+
+::
+
+ # kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
+ NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
