+# NodeResourceTopology API
+
+## Purpose
+This repository contains the CRD based API definition used for enabling NUMA aware Scheduling in Kubernetes. 
+Please refer to [this](https://docs.google.com/document/d/12kj3fK8boNuPNq) document for more details.
+
+This repo was created to enable experimentation and for development of Topology-aware scheduling components
+that rely on this API like NFD/RTE (for exposing node resource information while taking topology into consideration)
+and NodeResourceTopologyMatch scheduler plugin (for taking node resource topology into consideration while making
+scheduling decisions). This repo allows the ability to experiement with new features but once the API reaches
+a level of stability, the long term plan is to deprecate it and move entirely to the repo under Kubernetes staging:
+https://github.com/kubernetes/noderesourcetopology-api.
+
+## Community, discussion, contribution, and support
+
+Learn how to engage with the Kubernetes community on the [community
+page](http://kubernetes.io/community/).
