-# Bootstrapping Deployment Manager
-
-Welcome to the bootstrap example. The instructions below will step you through
-the process of building and running a local instance of DM on your local machine,
-and then using it to deploy another instance of DM in your cluster.
-
-This example provides insights into how DM works, and is recommended for anyone
-interested in contributing to the project.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before you can bootstrap DM, the following prerequisites must be satisfied.
-
-### Kubernetes cluster and go configuration
-
-1. Make sure your Kubernetes cluster is up and running, and that you can run
-`kubectl` commands against it.
-1. Clone this repository into the src folder of your GOPATH, if you haven't already.
-1. Make sure your PATH contains `$GOPATH/bin`.
-
-### Installing required python packages
-
-Since Deployment Manager uses Python and will be running locally on your
-machine, you need to make sure the necessary Python packages are installed. This
-step assumes that you have already installed the pip package management system
-on your machine.
-
-```
-pip install -r expandybird/requirements.txt
-```
-
-Note: depending on how you installed python and pip, you may need to use `sudo`
-for this command.
-
-## Bootstrapping Deployment Manager
-
-With the prerequisites satisfied, you're ready to bootstrap DM.
-
-### Building and installing the binaries
-
-First, you're going to build and install the DM binaries. You can do this by
-running make in the repository root.
-
-```
-make
-```
-
-### Start Deployment Manager on localhost
-
-Next, start the three DM binaries on localhost using the supplied bootstrap script.
-
-```
-./examples/bootstrap/bootstrap.sh
-```
-
-The script starts the following binaries:
-* manager (frontend service) running on port 8080
-* expandybird (expands templates) running on port 8081
-* resourcifier (reifies primitive Kubernetes resources) running on port 8082
-
-It also starts kubectl proxy on port 8001.
-
-### Deploy Deployment Manager into your cluster
-
-Finally, use the DM running on localhost to deploy another instance of DM onto
-the cluster using `dm` and the supplied template. Note that you are using the 
-`--service` flag to point `dm` to the instance of DM running on localhost, rather
-than to an instance of DM running in the cluster through `kubectl proxy`, which
-is the default.
-
-```
-dm --service=http://localhost:8080 deploy examples/bootstrap/bootstrap.yaml
-```
-
-You now have Deployment Manager running on your cluster. You can see it running
-using `kubectl`, as described in the top level [README.md](../../README.md).
