+Sparky - Inventory UI Service
+==============================
 
 
+***************
+Overview
+***************
+Sparky a service that interacts with AAI and provides users a UI to view and analyze AAI data. The main goal behind _Sparky_ is providing a more user friendly and clear view of AAI data.
+
+At this time, _Sparky_ has two views available for use:
+
+[View and Inspect](./VIEW_INSPECT.md) - Graph based view of entities within AAI.
+
+[VNFs](./VNFS.md) - Aggregation based view of VNFs within AAI.
+
+
+================
+Getting Started
+================
+
+
+Building _Sparky_
+------------------
+After cloning the project, execute the following Maven command from the project's top level directory to build the project:
+
+    > mvn clean install
+
+After a successful install, build the docker image:
+
+    > docker build -t openecomp/sparky target 
+
+Deploying _Sparky_
+------------------
+
+Push the Docker image that you have built to your Docker repository and pull it down to the location that you will be running _Sparky_.
+
+**Create the following directories on the host machine:**
+
+    /logs
+    /opt/app/sparky/appconfig
+
+You will be mounting these as data volumes when you start the Docker container.
+
+Clone Configuration Repo
+------------------------
+
+Clone the "test-config" repo to a seperate directory.
+Navigate to <test-config repo location>/sparky/appconfig (will contain files such as aai.properties).
+Copy the entire contents of <test-config repo location>/sparky/appconfig into the /opt/app/sparky/appconfig directory you created in an above step.
+
+====================================================
+Edits to property files in /opt/app/sparky/appconfig
+====================================================
+
+Listed below are the values that will need to be updated to make _Sparky_ operate properly. The config files contain comments on the contents not listed here.
+
+**search-service.properties**
+
+search-service.ipAddress=<ip address / hostname of the search-data-service that this instance will use>
+search-service.httpPort=<http port of the search-data-service that this instance will use>
+
+**aai.properties**
+
+aai.rest.host=<ip address / hostname of the aai that this instance will use>
+aai.rest.port=<rest port of the aai that this instance will use>
+
+**elasticsearch.properties**
+
+elasticsearch.ipAddress=<ip address / hostname of the elasticsearch that this instance will use>
+elasticsearch.httpPort=<http port of the elasticsearch that this instance will use>
+elasticsearch.javaApiPort=<java api port of the elasticsearch that this instance will use>
+
+**portal/portal.properties**
+**portal/portal-authentication.properties**
+
+If this instance of _Sparky_ will be served in an eCOMP Portal instance, use the two files above to configure against the proper Portal instance.
