+# Stackube
+
+Stackube is a Kubernetes-centric OpenStack distro. It uses Kubernetes, instead of Nova, as the compute
+fabric controller, to provision containers as the compute instance, along with other OpenStack
+services (e.g. Cinder, Neutron). It supports multiple container runtime technologies, e.g. Docker,
+Hyper, and offers built-in soft / hard multi-tenancy (depending on the container runtime used).
+
+Stackube uses the Apache v2.0 license. All library dependencies allow for
+unrestricted distribution and deployment.
