+## Quick Start 
+
+This tutorial introduces how to create a nested controlplane. CAPN should work with any standard 
+Kubernetes cluster out of box, but for demo purposes, in this tutorial, we will use 
+a `kind` cluster as the management cluster as well as the nested workload cluster.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Please install the latest version of [kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/#installation) 
+and [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)
+
+### Clone CAPN
+
+```shell
+git clone https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-nested
+cd cluster-api-provider-nested
+```
+
+### Create `kind` cluster
+
+```shell
+kind create cluster
+```
+
+### Install `cert-manager`
+
+Cert Manager is a soft dependency for the Cluster API components to enable mutating 
+and validating webhooks to be auto deployed. For more detailed instructions 
+go [Cert Manager Installion](https://cert-manager.io/docs/installation/kubernetes/#installing-with-regular-manifests).
+
+```shell
+kubectl apply -f https://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.3.1/cert-manager.yaml
+```
+
+### Clone CAPI and Deploy Dev release
+
+As a cluster API~(CAPI) provider, CAPN requires core components of CAPI to be setup. 
+We need to deploy the unreleased version of CAPI for `v1alpha4` API support.
+
+```shell
+git clone [email protected]:kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api.git
+cd cluster-api
+make release-manifests
+# change feature flags on core
+sed -i'' -e 's@- --feature-gates=.*@- --feature-gates=MachinePool=false,ClusterResourceSet=true@' out/core-components.yaml
+kubectl apply -f out/core-components.yaml
+cd ..
+```
+
+### Create Docker Images, Manifests and Load Images
+
+```shell
+export PULL_POLICY=Never
+export TAG=dev
+make docker-build release-manifests
+kind load docker-image gcr.io/cluster-api-nested-controller-amd64:dev
+kind load docker-image gcr.io/nested-controlplane-controller-amd64:dev
+```
+
+### Deploy CAPN
+
+Next, we will deploy the CAPN related CRDs and controllers.
+
+```shell
+kubectl apply -f out/cluster-api-provider-nested-components.yaml 
+```
+
+### Apply Sample Cluster
+
+```shell
+kubectl apply -f config/samples/
+```
+
+### Get `KUBECONFIG`
+
+We will use the `clusterctl` command-line tool to generate the `KUBECONFIG`, which 
+will be used to access the nested controlplane later.
+
+```shell
+cd cluster-api
+make clusterctl
+./bin/clusterctl get kubeconfig cluster-sample > ../kubeconfig
+cd ..
+```
+
+### Port Forward
+
+To access the nested controlplane, in a separate shell, you will need 
+to `port-forward` the apiserver service.
+
+```shell
+kubectl port-forward svc/cluster-sample-apiserver 6443:6443
+```
+
+### Connect to Cluster
+
+To use the `KUBECONFIG` created by `clusterctl` without modification, we first 
+need to setup a host record for the apiserver service name, to do this we can 
+define a custom hosts file by setting the `HOSTALIASES` env and append the 
+IP-address-to-URL mapping to the hosts file.
+
+```shell
+echo '127.0.0.1 localhost1' >> ~/.hosts
+export HOSTALIASES=~/.hosts
+```
+
+### Connect to the Cluster! :tada:
+
+```shell
+kubectl --kubeconfig kubeconfig get all -A
+```
