+Harvester Boot Using Qcow2 images and Vagrant Libvirt
+=========================================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Utilizing [Vagrant][vagrant], [KVM][kvm], and [Ansible][ansible] to create a
+ready-to-play virtual Harvester environment for evaluation and testing
+purposes. A single-node Harvester will be created by default.
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+-   Ansible \>= 2.9.0. This environment was tested with Ansible 2.9.5.
+-   Vagrant \>= 2.0.3.
+-   vagrant-libvirt plugin \>= 0.0.43.
+-   KVM (i.e. qemu-kvm), preferably the latest and greatest. This
+    environment was tested with qemu-kvm 2.11.
+-   Host with at least 16 CPU, 64GB RAM, and 500GB free disk space.
+-   cloud-localds to package iso files for injecting cloud-init.
+
+Quick Start
+-----------
+
+1.  Edit `settings.yml` to make sure the configuration satisfies your
+    needs. The options are self-documented.
+2.  Run `setup_harvester.sh`. This may take awhile (i.e. 30 minutes
+    depending on configuration).
+3.  If successful, run `vagrant status` to see the status of the Vagrant
+    boxes.
+4.  Point your browser to `https://<harvester_vip>:30443` to
+    access the Harvester UI. Just ignore the scary SSL warnings for now
+    as it is using self-signed certificates for demo purposes.
+    *NOTE*: by default `harvester_vip` is `192.168.0.131`. However, it is
+    configureable in `settings.yml`.
