+# cloud-init
+
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/canonical/cloud-init.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/canonical/cloud-init) [![Read the Docs](https://readthedocs.org/projects/cloudinit/badge/?version=latest&style=flat)](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.org)
+
+Cloud-init is the *industry standard* multi-distribution method for
+cross-platform cloud instance initialization. It is supported across all
+major public cloud providers, provisioning systems for private cloud
+infrastructure, and bare-metal installations.
+
+Cloud instances are initialized from a disk image and instance data:
+
+- Cloud metadata
+- User data (optional)
+- Vendor data (optional)
+
+Cloud-init will identify the cloud it is running on during boot, read any
+provided metadata from the cloud and initialize the system accordingly. This
+may involve setting up network and storage devices to configuring SSH
+access key and many other aspects of a system. Later on cloud-init will
+also parse and process any optional user or vendor data that was passed to the
+instance.
+
+## Getting help
+
+If you need support, start with the [user documentation](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
+
+If you need additional help consider reaching out with one of the following options:
+
+- Ask a question in the [``#cloud-init`` IRC channel on Freenode](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channel=#cloud-init)
