+Radio Edge Cloud
+================
+
+This repository contains the Akraino Radio Edge Cloud blueprint which is
+intended to consumed by the Akraino Regional Controller in order to deploy the
+software of the Akraino Telco Appliance blueprint familiy in a prescribed manner
+onto a tested hardware configuration.
+
+The REC blueprint may also be deployed in a semi-manual manner without the aid
+of the Regional Controller, and may be deployed on hardware other than the
+tested configurations, but in that case it will not be the full "appliance" that
+conforms with a hardware+software configuration that was tested by the REC
+Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline.
