+# HBase Kubernetes Deployment
+
+This module contains Kubernetes configurations suitable for deploying ZooKeeper, HDFS, and HBase.
+It supports several physical topologies, including:
+ * a minimum deployment footprint consisting of a single instance of each architectural component.
+ * a high-avaiability deployment footprint consisting of redundancies for each architectural
+   component.
+ * a deployment where HBase region servers and HDFS data nodes share a pod, enabling short-circuit
+   read between them.
