+# Quickstart
+
+Describes the steps to create and deploy the Canonical K8s Bootstrap and Control-plane providers on a Canonical K8s managment cluster with in-memory infrastructure provider.
+This is absolutely not intended for any kind of production environment.
+
+Note: This tutorial assumes that you have the repository at `~/cluster-api-k8s`
+
+## Let's start
+
+Setup inital cluster that will be transformed into managment cluster later.
+
+```bash
+sudo snap install k8s --edge --classic
+sudo k8s bootstrap
+mkdir ~/.kube
+sudo k8s config > ~/.kube/config
+```
+
+Install clusterctl
+
+```bash
+sudo snap install clusterctl
+```
+
+Create the Canonical Kubernetes provider release:
+
+```bash
+cd ~/cluster-api-k8s
+make release
+```
+
+This will create the necessary yaml files in `~/cluster-api-k8s/out`.
+CAPI expects a very specific structure for the providers (`{basepath}/{provider-label}/{version}/{components.yaml}`). Let's reshuffle the files to match this pattern.
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p control-plane-canonical-k8s-provider/0.1.0
+mkdir -p bootstrap-canonical-k8s-provider/0.1.0
+
+cp ~/cluster-api-k8s/out/manifest.yaml ~/cluster-api-k8s/out/bootstrap-components.yaml ~/bootstrap-canonical-k8s-provider/0.1.0/
+cp ~/cluster-api-k8s/out/manifest.yaml ~/cluster-api-k8s/out/control-plane-components.yaml ~/control-plane-canonical-k8s-provider/0.1.0/
+```
+
+We now need to tell `clusterctl` about this new providers.
+Create a custom clusterctl config:
+
+```bash
+cat <<EOF > ~/clusterctl.yaml
+providers:
+  - name: "canonical-k8s-bootstrap-provider"
+    url: "${HOME}/bootstrap-canonical-k8s-provider/0.1.0/bootstrap-components.yaml"
+    type: "BootstrapProvider"
+  - name: "canonical-k8s-control-plane-provider"
+    url: "${HOME}/control-plane-canonical-k8s-provider/0.1.0/control-plane-components.yaml"
+    type: "ControlPlaneProvider"
+EOF
+```
+
+You can verify that clusterctl has picked up the providers with:
+
+```bash
+ubuntu@brisk-agouti:~$ clusterctl --config ~/clusterctl.yaml config repositories | grep canonical-k8s
+canonical-k8s-bootstrap-provider       BootstrapProvider        /home/ubuntu/bootstrap-canonical-k8s-bootstrap-provider/latest/                             bootstrap-components.yaml
+canonical-k8s-control-plane-provider   ControlPlaneProvider     /home/ubuntu/control-plane-canonical-k8s-control-plane-provider/latest/                     control-plane-components.yaml
+```
+
+
+The `cluster-api-k8s` repository is currently private. Therefore we need to provide authentication in order to fetch the images.
+Follow [this guide](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/pull-image-private-registry/) and modify the `bootstrap-components.yaml` and `control-plane-components.yaml` accordingly.
+
+Now, we can initialize the cluster, we omit the infrastructure provider for now and deploy it manually later:
+
+```bash
+ubuntu@brisk-agouti:~$ clusterctl --config ~/clusterctl.yaml init --infrastructure - --bootstrap canonical-k8s-bootstrap-provider --control-plane canonical-k8s-control-plane-provider
+Fetching providers
+Installing cert-manager Version="v1.14.2"
+Waiting for cert-manager to be available...
+Installing Provider="cluster-api" Version="v1.7.2" TargetNamespace="capi-system"
+Installing Provider="bootstrap-canonical-k8s-bootstrap-provider" Version="0.1.0" TargetNamespace="cabpck-system"
+Installing Provider="control-plane-canonical-k8s-control-plane-provider" Version="0.1.0" TargetNamespace="cacpck-system"
+
+Your management cluster has been initialized successfully!
+
+You can now create your first workload cluster by running the following:
+
+  clusterctl generate cluster [name] --kubernetes-version [version] | kubectl apply -f -
+```
+
+Let's deploy the in-memory (fake) infrastructure provider:
+
+```bash
+ubuntu@brisk-agouti:~$ sudo k8s kubectl apply -f "https://github.com/neoaggelos/cluster-api-provider-inmemory-microk8s/releases/download/20240410-dev1/infrastructure-components-in-memory-development.yaml"
+namespace/capim-system created

+mutatingwebhookconfiguration.admissionregistration.k8s.io/capim-mutating-webhook-configuration created
+validatingwebhookconfiguration.admissionregistration.k8s.io/capim-validating-webhook-configuration created
+```
+
+Download the cluster-template:
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL "https://github.com/neoaggelos/cluster-api-provider-inmemory-microk8s/releases/download/20240410-dev1/cluster-template.yaml" -o cluster-template.yaml
+```
+
+Replace the `MicroK8s` occurences with `CK8s`
+
+```bash
+sed "s/MicroK8s/CK8s/g" ~/cluster-template.yaml > ~/cluster-template.yaml
+```
+
+Now, we can generate a cluster config:
+
+```bash
+export CONTROL_PLANE_MACHINE_COUNT=1
+export WORKER_MACHINE_COUNT=0
+export KUBERNETES_VERSION="1.30.0"
+
+clusterctl generate cluster "my-cluster" --from ./cluster-template.yaml > "my-cluster.yaml"
+```
+
+And finally, apply it:
+
+```bash
+sudo k8s kubectl apply -f ~/my-cluster.yaml
+```
