+# observability-operator
+
+This operator is in charge of handling the setup and configuration of the Giant Swarm observability platform.
+
+It reconciles `cluster.cluster.x-k8s.io` objects and makes sure each `Cluster` is provided with:
+- TODO(atlas) update this section
+
+## Getting started
+
+Get the code and build it via:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/giantswarm/observability-operator.git
+cd observability-operator
+make
+```
+
+See `make help` for help.
+
+## Architecture
+
+TODO(atlas): Fill this out
+
+## Credits
+
+This operator was built using [`kubebuilder`](https://book.kubebuilder.io/quick-start.html).
