 # Dapr Kubernetes Operator
 
-This project was created by [@lburgazzoli in this repository](https://github.com/lburgazzoli/dapr-operator-ng) and donated to the Dapr Sandbox organization.
+The `Dapr Kubernetes Operator` manages the lifecycle for Dapr and its components. 
+The operator's goal is to automate the tasks required when operating a Dapr running in [Kubernetes Mode](https://docs.dapr.io/operations/hosting/kubernetes/).
 
 ## Installation
 
@@ -35,10 +36,39 @@ The operator can be installed manually if desired.
 The [Manual Installation Guide][install_manual] provides the steps needed to manually install the operator on any 
 Kubernetes cluster.
 
+## Configuration
+
+The following example shows the most minimal valid manifest to create a new Dapr instance:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: operator.dapr.io/v1alpha1
+kind: DaprControlPlane
+metadata:
+  name: "dapr-control-plane"
+spec:
+  values: {}
+```
+
+The `DaprControlPlane` resource is a Kubernetes Custom Resource (CRD) that describes the desired state for a given Dapr instance and allows for the configuration of the components that make up the instance.
+
+When the `Dapr Kubernetes Operator` sees a new `DaprControlPlane` resource, the Dapr components are provisioned using Kubernetes resources generated from the official [Dapr Helm Charts](https://github.com/dapr/helm-charts) and managed by the operator.
+This means that the same configuration option that are available when [installing Dapr using Helm](https://docs.dapr.io/operations/hosting/kubernetes/kubernetes-deploy/#install-with-helm-advanced) can also be used to configure the `Dapr Kubernetes Operator`
+When something changes on an existing `DaprControlPlane` resource or any resource generated by the operator, the operator works to reconfigure the cluster to ensure the actual state of the cluster matches the desired state.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The operator expect that a single `DaprControlPlane` named `dapr-control-plane` and placed in the same namespace where the operator runs exists in a given point in time.
+> Any additional `DaprControlPlane` resources will be moved to an `Error` state and ignored.
+
+The `DaprControlPlane` Custom Resource consists of the following properties
+
+| Name   | Default | Description                                                      |
